Would like some opinions
Biggerpockets community, I'm stuck. Firstly, let me start with a little bit of backstory, for the better half of the last 5 years, I've been a mechanic. I kind of just fell into it and it stuck for a little bit and towards the end I started to explore different avenues. The field was just not for me, cars have always been my hobby, not my career. Not to mention, the pay really is not that competitive either. I found a book called "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and it made me change the way I thought about a lot of things. Fast forward a year later, here I am today.
My father owns an insurance brokerage and I recently came on board with him full time, same as real estate (Commission only). His goal is eventually to let me take over the agency, I'm licensed in both insurance and real estate at this point. So my question is, how can I utilize both in an efficient manner. Both of them are a full time job, but I love both. Both have potential for huge gains too, again, I love both. Do you think I'm getting in over my head? Or do you just think I'm kind of crazy? What are your thoughts?
