Hi fellow BPers. I am a real estate newbie having been in the game for almost a year now. I'm currently in the raising capital stage to eventually get into buy and holds. I have been doing this primarily through working nights as a sommelier and wholesaling. My schedule now allows me to have my days free and is very flexible. The problem is I only make about $45,000 a year on paper before any wholesale deals. So far I have done 2 deals this year but I feel like I'm gaining some momentum and getting better at negotiating and analyzing the deals. I have an opportunity to start working at a job that will triple my salary after 1 year, but requires 65+ hours a week working 6 11+ hour days a week. If you were in my shoes would you take the sure thing and just save for a rental property or keep the flexibility and try to get better more efficient at wholesaling?
