Career change from a lucrative job

[David Grayson]

I’ve gotten to the point in my career that I am unsatisfied every time I show up because I thrive for more. It’s a very lucrative job but I have the urge to slowly transition out of it and every time I brainstorm ideas, I always come back to the world of real estate. I’ve made some very good real estate decisions in the past but no formal experience in the game of truly investing. I have a friend who is very good at the art of the wholesale and he loves everything about it. If I was to make the transition (while still currently working a full time job), does this community think it would be a reasonable place to start? I know that networking and learning the trade is really precedent before delving into it but I’m just looking for tips. I luckily have a brother who is on the same mindset as myself and wants to join forces and attack it full on. The question is where to start, outside of just learning, networking, and continuous podcast listening. Much rambling but I’m excited to the point of losing sleep over starting a new venture.

@David Grayson...if you already have a high paying job then I would be saving as much money from that job to buy property.  Like it or not, wholesaling is mostly a job for 99% of wholesalers out there.  The 1% have gotten to the point of having a team around them and they run it more like a business.  Nobody knows your personal situation and why you want to leave your job, but if you want financial freedom like so many others, completely changing your career is probably not the fastest way to get there.  Save money, buy property, rinse, repeat and scale.  Best of luck.
