Advice for Investing with a Full-Time Job

[Reed Meyer]

I am graduating from college in a few weeks and start a full-time job in Chicago in July. As I start investing in real estate does anyone have advice for investing on the side of their full-time job? Do you mostly focus on buy and holds with simple cosmetic rehab (this is my plan)? Or do you adventure into flipping houses and just hire contractors due to your limited time? My concern with this is the significant upfront expenses and the headache that comes along with over-seeing the rehab process. It seems that that would be difficult to juggle while working full-time. What do you advise? Thanks a lot.
