But I love the idea of being self employed and would love to pursue a career in Real Estate!

I am currently continuing on with the end of my Sophomore year and is employed at an IT Corporate as an Intern.

Employer 401k is not an option.

Hi John,I “narrowed” my search down to those cities primarily because of demographic and employment trends I like (and because I had to narrow it down somehow).

There is a strong employment base, and public transportation to the largest economic hub in the world. 

Whether that is through formal coaching, classes, mentorship, fellowship, employment, etc is up to you and your learning style.

As Bill mentioned, lenders didn't take kindly to be self-employed in a "new" field even though the income was there.

A few contributing factors: (1) my wife already worked remote pre-COVID and my employer is WFH until at least early next year, (2) we're paying an ungodly amount in rent for a tiny apartment without any of the original benefits of living in the city, and (3) we plan to spend the next 3-5 yrs on the west coast before eventually moving back east.The current strategy I'm debating is two-fold.
