Options as an Attorney in Real Estate

[Casey Caton]

BP Community,

I have two more years in my service commitment with the USAF, and I'm a licensed attorney in Texas and looking to head back that way; however, I am conflicted on if I want to dive into real estate investing full-time or stick with my law degree and leverage that to learn, grow, and make inroads into real estate investment circles that I might not otherwise have access to.  A full-time position may take away my time and freedom to invest as aggressively as I would like to do. Currently I'm under contract on my 7th unit after two years of investing, but, with a full-time job, this has been tough to balance. 

Any other attorneys out there who have found a balance that worked for them?  Any fields or positions that are more useful than others when investing?

Any non-legal real estate positions that I should consider?

Thanks in advance for your comments! These forums are the best. 

Respectfully,

Casey
