Leave corporate?

Hi there,

I didn't leave corporate for real estate, but I did leave corporate to go private contracting!

Here's my advice regarding taking the leap:

1. Do your research - make sure you know what you're getting into
2. Get the appropriate education - learn before you make those easy-to-miss mistakes
3. Dip your toes in - start a side hustle in this area (i.e. invest in, flip, etc. on the weekends or with a few properties first).
4. Save money - in case things don't work out
5. Only make the full leap/cut (i.e. quiting corporate) once you're confident your new role/job will work, be fulfilling/enjoyable, etc.

I haven't but have tried a few side hustles. Frankly, the work required to be flipping homes wasn't justified for me at least by the ROI (not that I looked too closely into it).

Being an agent wasn't a pragmatic side hustle either as a 80hr/week consultant, and now isn't a career path I could see myself on.
