Looking for outsider’s advice
Hey BP, in a bit of a dilemma and would love some feedback from the community. So far I have one duplex and have a couple other deals in process with intention to BRRRR. I work an office job within a sales department that sells heavy equipment all over the country. It's flexible hours, close to home, and in the market I invest in. A very convenient job for investing. I have recently been given an opportunity to enter a sales training program that would last a year and require travel all over the country. Once that year is up, I would manage a sales territory that is close to home. This would be a tough year to invest and grow into financial independence. I am torn on weather to stay in my role and grow a portfolio as fast as possible or take a good opportunity in a sales role and have a higher income to grow that portfolio.
