Real estate investing w2

[Marlene Lara]

Hello all, I'm a Realtor wanting to get into the investing side of the business, But I'm not sure if it will be easier to maybe get into a tradional job with a W2 for the purpose to  qualify for financing etc, I love doing my job, but my main goal is to become an investor, I also now that banks are tougher on the self employed.  what are your thoughts on self employment income vs w2 income in order to reach financial freedom from real estate investing?
