Job Switch, Which to choose- Goal is Multi-family Ownership

[Josh Koett]

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
