Job Alternatives related to Real Estate

[Stacy Fernandez]

Hello Bigger Pocketeers! My partner (boyfriend) and I are planning for 2018 and wanting to up our real estate investing game! We currently have 2 flips under our belt and are actively searching for a multi family to house hack. One thing that has come up a lot regarding our goals is to find more time to spend in investing. With that in mind I am currently at a 40 hr a week job that doesn't relate to real estate. I am considering job alternatives that will allow for more flexible time than my 8-5. Also I would still like to keep my ability to get an fha loan so will likely need a W2 job to prove income for a loan. Do you have any suggestions to what type of jobs actually allow flexibility and relate to real estate? If you have experience please share the pros/cons or unexpected benefits/disadvantages. Thank you! -Stacy

@Stacy Fernandez There are a lot that are real estate related. Go get your appraisers license. Go work as a leasing agent as an apartment complex. Find a large construction company or home builder to work at. They might not give you the most flexibility. For flexibility look for outside sales jobs or jobs that you can telecommute.
