Raising Money: Remote Sale or Appointment Setter

[Evan Alexakos]

Hello, I currently have around $13,000 saved for my first property; however, this is far from enough. I am considering a job or a gig that can be done to save more money to eventually invest, and I have heard a lot of talk about sales. I don't know for sure how much is scams versus actual possibility, but I am highly motivated and would like to consider all paths to success.

I always advocate this.  If you plan on getting into real estate anyway, I would pick up a side gig real estate related.  Agent, lender, appraiser, title agent, insurance, etc... Great way to get paid and learn a lot more about your local market and the industry as a whole.  

Caveat to this before people jump in my DMs...IF you are going to do this - be the best at it.  Part time realtors and part time lenders especially tend to do more harm than good because they have no idea what they are doing.  I would probably start as a transaction coordinator or loan officer assistant to get started and learn from someone more experienced.
