Would you leave your job in this situation?

[Steve Adler]

Hey BP community, I have a crazy scenario to throw at you, that could be really scary but everything I have been praying for. 

I hate my job. I work in finance and every Sunday I start to get in a bad mood because it’s the start of a new work week. Great company, I’m just a VERY entrepreneurial person who would love to work for himself and get paid based off my results. I have been obsessing over real estate and the power of real estate for the past 4 years. If I HAD to work my dream job would be a realtor- im very networked and known in my community, and with my passion for real estate and work ethic I know I could do great. I was actually preparing to do that, but then my girlfriend and I ended up having our son (he’s amazing). 

Okay so that’s the background. My dad knows how much I hate my finance job, and sees my passion for real estate so he has offered me this. 1 year to pursue being an agent, and an investor (flips, brrrrs). He will pay my salary for a year, and give me a 200k loan for flips, BRRRRs, or whatever I want investment wise. 

I want to say it’s a no brainer, but it is also scary, simply because I have a son now and work for a great company. But I have been able to generate leads while working, and I know if real estate was my one focus I could kill it. 

Would you take this opportunity?
