I quit my job 2 months ago
A little while ago I posted on BiggerPockets asking a question of whether or not I should quit my job, it basically said "I have a real estate investor friend that has about 60 rental properties and we've developed a relationship and he is willing to pay me $25 an hour as I go and 10% of the total profits of any flip we work on. Not to mention any maintenance work on his rental properties.
I need about $2,000 a month after taxes to put some away in savings and just survive with.
So I ended hard for a while and eventually about 2 months ago I quit and I've been working with him and doing other real estate-related jobs.
So far so good. recently we just got a house under contract and are looking to close on the 10th February.
I'll try to keep you guys updated
