Exploring different avenues
Hello everyone,
I just want to know what are the other real estate paths other than real estate flipping wholesaling and becoming a realtor. Is there any you would recommend and why? Thank you.

There are many real estate related paths to choose from such as: property management, appraisers, inspectors, tradesman (electrician, plumbing, construction etc)
It doesn't matter what anyone else recommends. Take an assessment of your own personality and skills.
Assess what type of work you enjoy doing. Do you like working with your hands? Do you like seeing a project to completion? Do you want to interact with others on the job or do you prefer to work alone?
Try one out for a specified period of time and move on to the next if it doesn't suit you.
You can become a real estate investor within these fields or outside of them by networking and putting in the effort to learn and take action.
Good luck!
