First Responders & Real Estate: Who Else is Balancing the Call with Cash Flow?
Hey BP Fam —
Just wanted to start a conversation for all the first responders out there (and those who support them) who are also diving into real estate investing.
As a former MD Trooper and Nurse turned full-time agent and investor, I know firsthand how wild the shift work can be... but also how the steady income and flexible days off can be HUGE advantages in real estate.
So I'm curious:
-
Who else here is in fire, EMS, law enforcement, dispatch, or any frontline job and also investing?
-
What's worked best for you — flips, rentals, BRRRR, short-term rentals?
-
How are you balancing the shift life with site visits, tenants, deals, and all that comes with this biz?
Would love to connect with others doing both! Drop your story, tips, or even your challenges 👇
