Best complimenting jobs for REI
I find myself in the position of having to find a new job this fall as the company I work for will be closing. I had just gotten myself in a position to do more investing but now have this hurdle to deal with. I'm 41 with a family to support and although I have some REI's I am not financially independent through it but that is my long term goal. I was thinking about trying to become an appraiser or go into entry level property management. I'm leaning away from the agent position because it seems like the field is saturated and I 'm not sure I would have time for a lot of after business hours work. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated.
