All I Want for Christmas...

[Alvin Russell Goodwin II]

...is to be able to support my family financially doing what I love = real estate.

With that said, here is my situation:

Laid off my job two weeks ago
Invested in myself  by completing a 6-mth real estate investing in-person course (Spring 2022)
Been studying REI for about two years now
$15K in reserves + good credit
1 long-term rental in GA (no mortgage + rented)
The thought of getting another W-2 makes me want to vomit
Very interested in wholesaling and buying more rentals
Have kids, wife, mortgage, etc.

QUESTION: Should I work for a local up and coming wholesale company (base pay+commission)  or wholesale independently? 

I've considered getting my real estate license however, the thought of showing people multiple houses and working on the weekend is not very attractive to me.

Just seeking your advice on what path to commit to achieve an active income involving real estate in 2023.

Thank you!
