Balancing Real Estate Investments with a Demanding Job: Strategies for Success?

Hey everyone, Seth Baumgartner here. I work a demanding job with SpaceX that requires long hours and frequent travel. While I'm passionate about real estate investing, balancing it with my day job can be a challenge. I've been using various strategies to manage both efficiently, such as setting specific goals and leveraging technology. I'm curious to know how other investors in this community, who might have similar demanding schedules, manage to stay active in real estate investing. What tools or strategies do you employ to ensure you're giving adequate time to your investments while also excelling in your day job?

    Hey @Seth Baumgartner if you are too busy to look for properties, manage contractors, etc. then do something different in real estate. You are probably NOT going to be the rehabber person. Maybe look at purchasing some notes from @Chris Seveney or do some private lending to friends that are rehabbing. Maybe even partner with some friends on deals. 

    When you can not do the work you either hire someone to do it or you do something else that requires less time. 

    You can listen to podcasts while you walk, workout, take a shower, go to the bathroom, eat breakfast or lunch. And then before you go to sleep you can read a real estate book or look at realtor.com and see what is for sale to familiarize yourself with the market.
