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.

The courses I took during that period in real estate were some of the best and most informative courses I took during my entire college career.

Quote from @Jay Fayz: Hello everyone,I've recently been exploring real estate as a potential career path and I'm looking for advice on the best entry-level job to gain experience and knowledge.

If you're interested in seeing how that all breaks down from an income and expense standpoint, I created this Sankey diagram to share with you:As for me, I'm planning to leave my w-2 job and take a little career break before deciding what's next for me. 

Quote from @Torrean Edwards: Early in my investing career, I had some success, but then the crash happened.

Hi, I am trying to transition to develop my rental income as I am in the final years of my professional career.  

Context: I just moved to Portland, OR and finally decided to pivot careers from healthcare into real estate.

I found out pretty quick my skills from years of running LTR didn't translate to STR and had to learn a whole new set of skills (some of which I already had from a career working with the public).  

My plan for this year is improve my credit, get my real estate license (to increase my income on top of my W-2), possibly career transition into the property management space (to learn more), and save as much as possible and learn as much as I can.I’d love to house hack close to home but my area is so expensive it seems like it’d be close to impossible. 

I've had a long career in community development and have a lot of bank contacts that would likely be interested in investing, but I'd need to prove the concept first with an initial fund (there are also a lot of other community development tools that could be leveraged to maximize and scale this).
