Job Switch, Which to choose- Goal is Multi-family Ownership
Hello BP Community,
Thank you for reading my post. It may appear a little discombobulated, but I will try and stay on point. I'm thinking about switching careers from construction to either real estate or healthcare. I currently work with my buddy doing small residential remodels. I've been considering leaving the trades for a while. My ultimate goal is Financial Independence through multifamily investing.
I've been taking night classes for the past year in healthcare and my real estate license. My question is whether to choose a job in something real estate related like an agent, property management team member, loan assistant, etc. thinking that this job will keep me informed and in the loop to purchase a multifamily deal when it arises. My other option is to go into RN nursing school. It pays more, but It will be 20 months of schooling, no paycheck, and I wont be in the real estate loop. Any advice on jobs to reach my Financial Independence Multi family goal faster? Thanks again

@Josh Koett I fail to see how any of the options you laid out will help you reach your goal. If your goal is to become financially free through multifamily real estate investing, then learn multifamily real estate investing and go buy a multifamily property. You day job is basically irrelevant. You won't have it for long if you start buying multifamily real estate.
