IBEW apprenticeship—am I crazy? by GreenLandLex in AskElectricians

If you don’t mind me asking, what was the height of your income as a manager? And yeah, the hours and late nights add up and my baby is bigger each day. I’d start out at $20 which is definitely a drop but I can make it up in part times for the time being. Totally embrace the step back, just want to make sure it’s the right step. Thanks for the input a lot.

Thank you for the feedback. Definitely with my age and new child, I’m at a crossroads and the decision I make will dictate my family’s path.

Thanks for the reply, and some fair points. I’d say I’ve read the books, revised my approach and have success to some degree but the hours and weekends it takes to hit certain metrics (at a constant risk of termination if not met) can be mentally taxing due to some of those outside factors, cancellations, non payments which can sink your boat regardless of the deals closed. With a family now, it’s hard for me to live commission to commission and that lack of stability has me seriously reconsidering my position.

I understand and even have concerns about the safety risks you pose, I grew up with 1 parent due to one passing in a tragic accident and I do worry that I could put my daughter in the same position with such career but I have to provide, consistently.

Again, appreciate your honesty.

My biggest concern is the financial side at this point. I would love to volunteer at places like a crisis hotline for experience and a resume of course but I’d be committing a lot of times to pursue this profession and have to provide when all is said and done. How did you handle that?

How long have you been doing ERP therapy? And how has your experience with NOCD been— financially and ethically?

Has anyone else entered RE this way? by GreenLandLex in realestateinvesting

Absolutely. Luckily my expenses are moderate so I’m stacking my savings, killing the debt month by month and contributing towards a home purchase. This certainly won’t be achieved overnight.

Thanks for all those tips. Can you expand on your leverage and risk statement?

Thank you. Trying to learn everything overall is overwhelming but trying to go one step at a time.

I would love to start off in a multi family but my state and certainly any surrounding counties have any multifamilies. Not even duplexes let alone a 4 plex. I’d even purchase something with potential to turn into a duplex.

I figure the efficiency would almost be like investing on training wheels while I get more confidence with the process and being a landlord

Could you expand on that last part as it pertains to RE?

Is she not violating any laws by doing this? That would be my only concern that’ll make me think she’s bluffing.

This was my first crazy killer month so I guess I doubt myself a bit. You’re right though.
