Should I take the job or noooo?

[Isiah Ferguson]

GOD is good 1st & foremost. We back at the round table again. Corporate America fell in love with my smile, abilities to converse, & humbleness. I have a potential salary paying job on the counter and it's a much higher pay from what I'm getting now. I'm really not sure if I want too take it. I'm not sure if this is a blessing or a distraction to my ultimate goal. I refuse to work a job for 40+ years. I'm a Real Estate Mogul. Smh lol. The potential job offer according to my VP and director the salary is 55k -60k yearly. I will have to relocate my family and potentially be working 60 per week sometimes. Where I work now it's a lil above minimum wage but I work 8 days on & 6 days off. With the 6 days off it could either be a vacation or time to work my business. I work and have reserves. I have 100k invested into RE. I'm currently invested in a duplex all cash in. Looking to refi of course and repeat the process. Should I even be considering the job ? I am only 26.

@Isiah Ferguson I'd say take the job. But, of course, that's with no clue what you do now or would be doing then. On a practical level a better W2 will help your DTI as well as just plain allowing you to rebuild your reserves faster. Take a look at the number of people who post talking about how they can't qualify "for a great deal" because of income. I could make the argument that a new job with a better W2 is just going to open up more real estate opportunity doors for you. That said, I don't know if either opportunity can help you down your real estate path. Anything from sales to finance can help build a skillset that will last you a lifetime whether it's in the "corporate" world or as a Real Estate Mogul ;-)
