Once you jump in full time and are immersed in the process of finding deals, executing on them and building a business around it you will figure out how to stabilize your income as you generate it. 

I've also recently jumped careers to work as a real estate agent to fully immerse myself in real estate.

I know the hand immersion blender has been used a bunch for mixed drinks and so far they have held up well.

I personally think small retail locations are great for experiences, immersive dining or axe throwing, then purchase, etc.

I wanted to be fully immersed in the real estate space, so for me it made perfect sense.

I love being fully immersed in RE everyday.

Dear BP Hard money and Private Money Lenders,I'm new to Flipping /rehabbing after going through a 6 month immersion/coaching/mentoring program in RE investing, so while my company may be new, I have definitely wet my feet under the umbrella of my coaches.

Immerse yourself into BiggerPockets by listening to the podcasts and reading a few topics each day, go and see other rentals and homes for sale in your area, talk to 5-6 agents and stay in touch with the ones you connect well with, talk to other investors in the area and how they got started, etc.

You need to immerse yourself into the city, figure out your area block by block, and find an area that hits your goals.  

Bringing more tools to the table increases the ways you can make money from an opportunity (particularly if it doesn't conform to a particular premeditated strategy).I recommend licensing to anyone starting out--as it gives you a baseline education and a degree of immersion into the industry for relatively little cost (less than a weekend with a guru).Good luck!
