trading stock options vs real estate
If i have about three thousand dollars to invest, how do you think i should spend it? im both a real estate agent and investor, but wholesaling was quite hard and didnt work out for me last time i tried (before i became an agent).
On a small budget like this do you think i should spend this $3000 in stock options to multiply my money? or use this $3000 to spend on marketing to wholesale? or just save up more money until i am able to flip myself.
I have a good understanding on how to trade stock options. also a good understanding on how to wholesale and flip houses. also a good understanding on being a good real estate agent.
My end goal is to be able to flip a house a house myself. or at least enough money where i have "skin in the game" to get a lender. How should i go about this?

no brainier if you know how to trade options you can get much more leverage with $3000 then wholesaling on a 3k budget
