REI Advice Inquierery

[John G.]

Hey BP,

My goal is to hear some advice and/or pointers on what has worked for people with experience in what their advice is.

Background:

I'm a Carpenter in Northern California working for a General Contractor totaling 40Hrs-60hrs a week 

My current work is mainly Tenant Improvements/Remodels, In the past I've done custom homes as well.

I'm sole provider at the moment for my family and am saving what I can though it probably wont be significant for Investing

Issues (oppurtunities):

Dont have much capital 5000-10,000 - Saving about 500 a month 

Dont have GC license yet - Will have GC license in November 2017

Will have Construction Project Management Cert early 2018 (March)

I'm looking to be proactive and find an oppurtunity to enter real estate investing with a sustainable stratgegy.

Current thoughts:

- I can work full time and get jobs on the side to add to capital power 

- wholesale remotly, with savings?

- find a Mentor to partner with in area

What I'm doing now

-  getting educated and licesened 

- I've listened to every BP podcast and am currently reading "set for life"

- signed up for BP pro and am reading and asking questions

- networking for subcontractors 

This is the just of my situation. I'm being patient to take massive action at the moment until November when I get my GC license and have the time to use it 2018 I'm looking to get some feedback from different perspectives than my own.

Thanks,

John
