Best Real Estate Strategy to Replace a Regular Job

Posted

Let’s say I hate my regular 9-5 job and want to get started in some form of real estate investing full time, and need to make at least $4,000/month to survive at my current standard of living. Which real estate niche or strategy (or strategies) are best for providing income upfront, such as monthly or every couple months, as opposed to renting and holding long term?

You could easily make $4k a month doing wholesaling. You could also look at Lease Options and joint ventures. There are a lot of people who want to invest in real estate but don't have the time. Partnering is the fastest way to scale. Start looking for these people.
