Made a call today to a local broker here in Fresno, he gave me some great advice on how to later going through the sale side of the business as an RE agent. I could much more easily get involved in helping manage and buy properties with investors. Thank you for regs doc that defiantly will give me a more realistic view on what it takes and in titles.

@Franco Li

You make a good point, it is about crunching numbers correctly and being realistic when comes down to it. I forget what book I read it in, but it said somewhere around the lines of. If you had all the money in the world and could only spend it on real estate. It still wouldn't guarantee that you would become wealthy in real estate investing because knowledge and experience is what it takes to make it. i.e even the little ones.

@Mike Huang

I one hundred percent agree I have considered getting involved with the construction side of things, defiantly not against that idea.  Being I can save on cost running through my own business as an investor. I read a creative real estate book last year that really highlighted all the possibilities of that.

As for the education, part I know I have a big learning curve ahead whatever direction I decide, and I know that does happen overnight.   I look forward to the days that I can have consistency back in my life along with security to lean back on.

Thank you for the advice Mike

@Luke H.

Awesome thank you, Luke I read that somewhere once also and have since tried to follow it when I could. I'm on it...

Creative Real Estate Investing While Making A W-2 To Learn How

Can it be done, and how?

I have an opportunity to start everything over from scratch. Including figuring out how to draw a cash flow from a W-2 to help build momentum back up in my life. While I sell my last business start up to catch up my debts.

The way I see it is why not double down on my learning curve, and get a job in the same field that I want to end up doing eventually which is real estate investing.

My first thought of a perfect job to do this in right now is real estate property management.

Please tell me if my thinking is off... Having no idea how things work in the real world of real estate. My theory is why not be a part of and somehow do the leg work with investors while learning from their mistakes before for I make mine with my own time and money.

Would looking for a property management admin job be a good direction to look towards first. Or would it be more directional for me to take a step back and go work a Job with a general contractor that does fix and flips while I study to get my CPM certification.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and consider, all the best in your endeavors.
