If you had one to choose? How can I supplement my REI?

[Jonathan Beemer]

Hi BP! If you had one to choose what would you be to increase your ability to be the best RE investor? 1. Realtor 2. Contractor 3. Both 4. None- normal real estate investor ?? I am thinking about learning something on the side once I am out of the army to help with my investment strategies. Not looking for anything too long. Just something that I can work in until I have enough passive income to go full time. I am young, I have time, and I have the ability to do anything. Any other options??

If you had the passive income right now to do whatever you wanted what would you do?  You can make a lot of money as a realtor or as a contractor but if you hate working with your hands you're going to have a tough time maximizing your income because you will dread work.  The same applies for selling real estate.  Figure out what part of real estate your passionate about and find out how to make a living doing that.
