As far as the job goes, if your working and making money, and don't have any financial burdens, just keep plugging away and saving money until you find something else.

Evaluate your financial position and obligations.  

Lubbock has a low barrier to entry and has several backup economic drivers by being the primary hub (agriculture, financial, healthcare, material goods, transportation, entertainment) for an area the size of most states east of the Mississippi.

@Mary Umoh, have you looked at the basic financials of this conversion?  

You will spend $10-$20k to put the PPM together and then if you do audited financials that will run you five figures per year as well as tax returns are not cheap with all the K-1's.

I’ve been actively seeking mentorship opportunities in Dallas, diving into real estate literature (including David Greene’s BRRRR method), and connecting with others who are passionate about achieving financial freedom through real estate.If you work in IT, are based in Dallas, or simply want to connect, I’d love to hear from you!

I’m not well versed in engineering but would think if you try hard you could combine the two and make yourself a niche market that you’re uniquely suited for and could benefit you financially.

The reason I ask is that I'm sure there are other markets, like Pittsburgh, that are close enough that you could do a quick weekend trip to check in but are more financially advantageous.

Determine a goal you’d like to work toward financially, is it “financial freedom” (whatever that means to you), buying a business, becoming self employed, becoming a full time real estate investor, having enough cash for your kids college education, having enough to retire, becoming a centi millionaire, etc.3.
