For real estate I'd say wholesaling or being an agent. Or find a service that'd benefit people in the industry(marketing, systems, lead management, etc). You could also start a business outside of real estate to generate cash/funds. Can you start an ecommerce business? Is there a local service you can provide? Where you are at when you are not working off shore? 

I am located in New Orleans, LA when I am not offshore. 

 Plenty of opportunity there then. You can test out different niches and jobs within the real estate world. Personally I'd look into agent/wholesaling. Find someone to mentor you and be a help to them. Learn to work for the knowledge and not the money out the gate. The money will follow 

Are there any ways you would go about finding a mentor besides local club meet ups and BP forums?

Hey everyone! I'm new to the REI scene and am in the process of finding my first deal. My current work schedule is 28 days of work and 28 days off. I was wondering if anyone had ideas for side hustles involving real estate that I could do during my 28 days off so that I could earn extra money and gain further exposure to REI? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!


 Are you a realtor or what are you doing that you work then you do not? I would say flipping could be a side hustle, cold calling, if you are a realtor you could do leasing.

I work offshore in the shipping industry, so when I’m at work there’s a chance I have limited access to internet, but the 28 days I’m not working I am totally free. 


 Ohhh! Okay, I would start to cold call. Call around local brokerages and see if someone is willing to mentor you and take you under their wing. At our brokerage, we do a lot of cold calling. Every person that comes in has to be mentored. See if you can find something like that. You would not need to be full-time to do that. It takes a lot of persistence but is defiantly worth it. 

Great I’ll look into that, thanks!
