Transitioning from software engineering into real estate?
Hey BP!
I was mulling over my own career path as a software engineer in the tech industry and know at my core that I am not remotely passionate about software engineering. However I have no better option right now than to suck it up and just take the pay check to save up for future real estate endeavors.
Just curious who else is / was in a similar boat. Who has been a software engineer or been in the tech industry in the past and flipped the switch and totally switched over to real estate?
I am feeling stuck professionally and would like some inspiration, stories about your own journeys,... anything is welcome!

Hi Cathy! I'm a little bummed no one replied to this! I too am contemplating my career in tech. I'm in software sales and really want to replace my active income with passive income. The corporate life just isn't for me.
I know it's going to take some time to get there, but I'm willing to learn and put in the work. I've been trying to figure out how to increase my current income so I can save for that next property. Happy to connect with you during your trials and tribulations. I know I need like-minded people to surround myself with. Good luck!
