Flexible Jobs Allow Ample Time to Build Your Wholesale Business.
Hello BP.
I am in a situation where I am due to return back to America. I want to return and give wholesaling in my local market a go. I don't think it is the wisest to bank on reserved money while I wait for a deal. And even when I get a deal I wouldn't want to use the money made for living expenses.
For those who were working while your achieved your first few wholesale deals, what were your jobs that allowed you be flexible?

@Jalen Brinkerhoff
Hey how are you doing Jalen I would say majority of us didn't have jobs that were flexible while pursuing real estate. Personally I worked as a mover in the morning and a bouncer in the evening.
Days I was off from the moving job or any free time I had went to my Real estate from Re-Vamping my marketing strategy, Networking, Talking to probate,Divorce attorneys or power of attorney's on a property.
So you're going to have to squeeze whatever free time you have and focus on what you want to do. Believe me that first check made me feel like doing backflips up and down the street.
