While I'm not certain about your current real estate objectives, I can assure you that this is an excellent platform to enhance your knowledge and connect with others in the field.

As you can tell, I am seriosly eager to leave my position RIGHT NOW and work in this field instead. 

For conversation sake: It seems you are well into your career to be able to buy great properties and sell for great value/profit.

What are some careers paths or jobs that allow me to pick up experience that will help in real estate investing while working for someone else? 

I don't know your entire situation, careers, commutes, etc., so only you can decide what fits your budget and your lifestyle best.  

Market demographicsYou never know how grumpy a field agent auditing you will be. 

I buy rental properties because I love the process and the hours I put in do not adversely affect my W2 career/time with my family which I enjoy even more.Find your WHY and then get that first deal done.

A matter of fact, I had one a decade ago, a full IRS field audit, and passed owing $0.Eventually I want to have a couple hundred properties, and more installment sales.

Looking forward to making some great progress in this side of my career, make new friends and growing together.

If you teach BRRR I would love to see how someone can teach construction management outside of the field and understand scopes of work, contract negotiations, permitting and dealing with contractorsWhat does the proforma look like and schedule of values?
