As of that time, my plan is to maintain my job as a construction worker for consistent revenue (have a family) and work real estate with most of my extra time (M-F late afternoon and evenings, Sat-Sun all day) While I will be doing real estate "part time" I will be able to put in close to 40 hrs/week.Once I am able to establish a base and feel comfortable in my earnings I will drop the construction and go full time.
