Well yes if you are successful.The reality is 87% of those who try to make a career at selling real estate fail out of the business within just a few years.

At the time they had a real estate degree (they probably still do).

I’m in the process of getting my real estate salesperson license to gain access to MLS listings as well.

Meetup is a fantastic app to find real estate meetings around you, and look for local REIA (real estate investor associations) and attend a bunch of meetings.

I have always been surrounded by real estate and real estate investing since I was little.

Early on, I realized that real estate isn’t a solo business.

The combination of its growing tech & healthcare sector, long-term resilience to climate change, and relative affordability makes it an interesting place to start our real estate journey.I spent a big part of my career in hospitality real estate consulting at a Big 4 firm, but I left to explore new opportunities and decided it was finally time to take the leap into real estate investing.

Btw, I learned about this from a book about the career of Harold Helmsley (pre Leona!)

If you're investing in real estate, ask yourself can you hold this a minimum of 8 years, ideally 12, optimally north of 20?

You have acquired skills that are worth 500k, so maybe you can translate that into an adjacent career path and leverage your existing skills?
