Acquiring contractor Jobs

[Campbell McCoy]

I’ve been working in manufacturing for 2 years now and I’ve been listening to bigger pockets podcasts for the past 6 months all day everyday at work and I feel ready to make my first investment. My thinking is that getting a job as a contractor would allow me to get a very good idea for pricing the rehab of lower end properties so I can really assess deals well, and start networking and getting in contact with contractors in my area that can potentially give me good deals on renovations. Or even learning how to rehab those properties myself to save money. My question really is wether contracting is the best move or if I should explore other jobs that would benefit me more in the long run. If contracting is a good place to start is there anyone in Huntsville Alabama that knows of a good place to work where I can get trained in that field. Thanks bigger pockets!
