Career Change - did you do it? How?

Hi All, I am currently a forensic accountant and fraud examiner considering to make a career change into full time real estate, whether becoming a project manager and investor. Its been a difficult time clearly for many, but certain events in my life has brought me to the conclusion, I truly rather be doing something that brings joy and a sense of accomplishment as opposed to pushing papers (pdfs, excels) all day.  What was your journey to moving over? What is your advice? Let me know.

In addition to making sure you have adequate savings, the W2 job is critical for getting started investing as it is the easiest way to qualify for and obtain financing. I would look for a W2 job within the real estate field - property manager, project manager, assistant to either of these positions, acquisitions manager, executive assistant to top producing agent, etc...
