The property is 1.5 miles from Downtown Houston in a "transition" neighborhood.

I think ideally you may want to keep your 9-5er until you come to a point where you are successful enough in RE to make the transition.

Hey Eric,Sounds like you made the transition from Owner to Investor quite well.

Is this the transitional phase from the developer, or dissatisfaction with the one you have now?

Is it worth it to make the transition?

I work for the Metropolitan Transit Authority as a train operator.

Good luck with the transition to full-time investing, Wayde.

Also there is a mega transit village being built nearby with a new train station that will connect North Brunswick township with NYC downtown.

Communication is the key to making this transition less stressful.

I like commercial because there is not as much competition for it.You can structure a deal more creatively and there are more different types of lender loans than for residential.Residential is highly regulated by the government now.Commercial I don't want the government messing it up as well and squashing creative financing.I like commercial for economies of scale and ramping up larger transactions.You can make money in residential it is just not my thing.I like retail and multifamily.Medical will be hot for many decades to come as well with the boomer generation retiring.I don't care much for industrial but I am seeing some transition areas where a developer takes an industrial shell of a warehouse leasing at 2 sq ft.They put improvements in and get rezoned to mixed use retail and get 15 sq ft lease rates.
