I have been in the same career for my entire adult life and am looking for a change.

I've had a successful career in automotive retail now for over 28 years, but it hasn't gotten me the freedom and independence, or the wealth (frankly) I should have at this point in life.

Other than a real estate agents, what is a decent paying career to take that will help in investing?

Although I do not do this anymore, I did partner with passive/new investors early in my career.

We have been able to save up a decent savings account, while also taming the creditors with some minor payments here and there, but we are eagerly looking for our first deal as real estate investors.I’ve heard tons about OPM and investing using little to no money, but most of that is also helped by the fact that most people have good credit, just no savings account to back their good credit.We are on the opposite side of the play field and I’d like to see if any of the BiggerPockets family could help me with some steps to begin our real estate investing career, even though we have bad credit (for now).Thank you in advance!

I'm also in the process of obtaining my real estate license to work as an agent on the side to assist me in my investing career.

I’m A Beginner Get Into Wholesaling Houses, Im 19 years old, Just Graduated And Been Waiting To Get Into Real Estate Now I’m Outta School I’m Trying To Pursue My Career ...

I'd like to break the ice by introducing myself and documenting the start of my real estate investing career. 

In my opinion, very few investors are able to successfully do the no money down real estate at the beginning of their investing career because in order to do it you need to use other people’s money, or you need enough education and experience to successfully put together a subject to deal, or owner carry, etc.
