Full Time Job & Wholesaling

I am extremely "burned out" with my current job that pays well but I am 62 years old and very tired of making other people rich. I want to develop a consistent RE wholesaling business to supplement my retirement. However I have found it very difficult to find the time to work on my wholesaling business while I work full time which also includes a fair amount of travel. I am impressed by many of the contributors to this forum and I am also sure my situation is not unique. I would appreciate any suggestions, actions plans, ideas on how I can effectively develop a wholesaling business while I work full time. I really, really need to quit my job, I'm on Xanax already.

Thanks in Advance,

Bob Burns

Well do you want to quit your job or trade one job for another?

Wholesaling is a job. There is no residual income from it and you only make money when you turn a deal.

Find - Sell - Buy - Close - Close and repeat over and over and over. And I can promise you as your getting started your going to wish you had a steady paycheck. It can be done but you need to bust a$$ to get it done.

At age 62 if you want a job the wholesaling is one option but do not fool yourself your trading one job for another.
