Quit My Job and Plan to Wholesale

[Melanie Hartmann]

Hi All! I had to share. Against all conventional advice and wisdom, I've just quit my job. My fiance's job brings enough for us to cover are needed expenses and I have about a year's worth of savings built up on top of that. I have not done any deals yet but am planning to get into wholesaling ASAP. Just wanted to share. I'm going all in!

Thank you to everyone, both the naysayers and encouragers! I know most people in my life have advised me against doing this. Their points are valid but so are mine. There's more to my leaving then the following reasons listed here but one of the main reasons is that my family will be moving out of state soonish - so quitting was inevitable anyway. I worked a school schedule and didn't want to start a school year knowing I would be leaving before the school year was up. My career/profession doesn't allow for easy transition out mid-year and I knew I wouldn't be able to perform my job well under these circumstances. Fortunately, my profession is in high demand in most places across the country so finding a job after we relocate, if necessary, will be relatively quick and easy. I was the breadwinner for the past few years while my fiance worked part-time, went to school, and watched our kids (when he could) while I worked. He's now working a TON of hours and clears enough to cover our expenses. So now I'm home watching the kids and getting into real estate more heavily until we move. This wasn't on a whim and there are other factors at play. At this time it's the best decision for my life and my family. Keep on keeping on! Will keep you posted and hopefully write my first blog post for BP about it, whether it works out or not. Cheers ya'll!
