Focus on my W2 or spend more time on Real Estate?

[Danny Kaminsky]

Hey all,

I'm relatively new to real estate (only one property), but I'm incredibly passionate about it. I also enjoy my day job, but certainly don't have the same passion for software that I do for real estate. I'm in a great position because my company does real estate consulting and I understand real estate better than most at the company, but sometimes it is hard to see the value in developing my tech skills when I see myself investing long-term. Also for some context: I will see some of the upside in an acquisition, which could happen in the next few years, so my work on innovating there will likely have a much greater short-term payout than real estate. Should I continue to work extra hours at my day job, or spend that extra energy learning real estate? Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
