I have a good software sales job and I'm saving money, but I want to start to prepare for a way out of this corporate life eventually.
As I've learned you'll never get THAT far working in this environment -- though you can do alright for yourself.
Things i've done in the last year or so.
1. Payed off Student Debt. Obvious one. Don't want any reminiscence of college negatives dragging me down. (whole experience was worthless)
2. Started a few niche sites. One is starting to get semi big, another 2 are in the pipeline and slowly gaining traffic. Solid second source of income currently and I will continue to grow them. Might be a full time income eventually. Its nice waking up every morning seeing money.
3. Learned to trade/invest. Investments are doing well and now now how to make more money with my money. Crypto trading as well.
I want a 3rd source of income, and a chance at making a lot more money. I have a few options:
1. Family owns RE in a tier 2/3 US city, partial resort town. I can move here and do RE learning from them and even maybe getting some money for my first downpayment. This seems lucrative as LOTS of people have made a ton of money in RE. I am also v familiar with this city.
I would get a job here and then look to buy a property hopefully within a few months to a year in a desirable location.
2. Find a different business model and go that route. i would have to look for a while as I don't see anything here immediately.
I know you all are full of wisdom so additional opinions and viewpoints would be awesome -- or maybe additional business models to look into.
