@Isaiah Moch Congrats and glad you are here in BP! Great place to learn and an excellent way to learn about real estate is buying and selling undeveloped land. Incredible returns, no rehab needed, and you can buy/sell all over the country. Great way to learn how to create and close deals - and any budget can work.

And you absolutely can do this part time.  I personally would not recommend quitting a good job until you can replace that income and it no longer makes sense to keep that job. I have heard many members say they left their version of a "day job" because they were losing deals, it was costing them money, and they could no longer juggle the two. (Great place to be in, by the way.) If you are new to real estate, buying and selling vacant land is a great place to start to learn the business and build up cash with little investment. You may even find that it is SO rewarding that you might never leave this niche.

You can start small and build a property portfolio and not take on any debt. With little money you can get a website going (to sell what you buy), find motivated sellers, and start flipping property.  And since no debt, it is okay if a property takes a few weeks to sell. The key is really learning how to buy it right. Look at property as a business. Not emotional - just as an investment. If you cannot buy it so inexpensively that you can easily double your money tomorrow, don't buy it.  Just move on to the next deal. Easy to get your phone ringing with motivated sellers once you learn how to reach them! Hope this helps and wishing great success to you.

@Dexter Kubi  Welcome to BP!  You have come to the right place.  An excellent way to learn about real estate is buying and selling undeveloped land. Incredible returns, no rehab needed, and you can buy/sell all over the country. Great way to learn how to create and close deals - and any budget can work! AND, you absolutely can do this part time and I personally would not recommend quitting a good job until you can replace that income and it no longer makes sense to keep that job.

You mention not having much capital so why not start small and build a property portfolio and not take on any debt? With little $ you can get a website going (to sell what you buy), find motivated sellers, and start flipping property. Vacant land is a great place because no big issues and you can buy and sell all over the country fairly easily.

And since no debt, it is okay if a property takes a few weeks to sell. The key is really learning how to buy it right. Look at property as a business. Not emotional - just as an investment. If you cannot buy it so inexpensively that you can easily double your money tomorrow, don't buy it. Just move on to the next deal.
