Now to go make my employer a little sad, Im going to have to cut my hours to learn more in this industry, to really reach my goals in the next 2 to 3 years.

I like the long-term prospects of Richmond because it is so affordable and still has a reasonable commute to major employment centers like SF, Oakland, Walnut Creek, etc.

I'll just have to battle through the beginning stages, and rely on the income from my current employment to get me rolling.

I'm full time employed but when I'm not traveling, I'm driving for dollars.  

Find W2 employment.

My only concern is that NJ requires a broker's license to open this business and for that I need 3 years of employment as a RE salesman in order to apply for a broker's license, which I I don't have time to do because I'm going to stay in my career working full time for now as well as investing. 

Any thoughts or ideas about how we can get started to get enough transactions completed so that we are better positioned for one of us to quit our current full time employment to work on building the business full time?

@James ShelbyIt appears that you may not qualify for a solo 401k because your are not self-employed.

I don't like the idea of having my money tied up in this one property in spite of the minimal expense, but good cash flow.My husband has been self employed for over twenty years.

You have to employ the right strategy at the right time for your market.
