A lot of research and studies have come out around high paying jobs make large impacts. 

I feel like i am in this awkward in the middle stage where I still need to work my corporate job, but right on the cusp to make real estate my fulltime job.   

I also treated studying like a full-time job.

But since I am in the fire area of Altadena I will be very busy rebuilding houses for the next decade for me "day job".

I have done BRRRRs in Milwaukee for a decade+ and if I am not on the job 2-3 times a week, things go sub-optimal.

They have allowed me to quit my job as an Engineer. 

Lastly, always keep your job and build your employment foundation because that keeps you income relevant and lendable.Hey thanks for your reply!

However, I think some upcoming life changes may be the right opportunity for me to dip my toes in the water in real estate investing.I live in Pflugerville, TX (25 minutes from downtown Austin) and will soon be moving to Portland, OR, for my dream job.

Just to beat a dead horse, we could see a recession in the future where you and/or your spouse lose your jobs.

My ultimate goal is to become successful with my real estate investments so I don’t have to rely so much on my job and be able to spend more time at home with my soon to be wife and future children.
