Starting out with $15,000

Sam Harover
Posted

I’m 25 and I am leaving my well paying job to pursue something I’ve always had interest in - brewing beer. I’ll be taking a significant pay cut, but the hope is that I learn the necessary skills to open my own brewery. I was hoping to work another year at my current job to save more money (currently I have around $15,000) but mentally I could not take it anymore, and am working my final month.

I have had a keen interest in real estate investing for years, read a few books, listened to lots of podcasts, but I still have a ton to learn. I plan on putting the money into something safe for a year or so while I absorb as much info as possible before making the leap.

Does anyone have suggestions on specific resources I should use, what other steps I should take over the next year, and what specific path I should take in RIE?

Is $15,000-$20,000 enough to start with?

I’d appreciate any and all advice.
