.......... now before you see the thread and think how many 0's or IPs. This is more of a realisation post. So I quit my job @ Aldi last week, was over 10-14hr days of the same thing literally every day. Even as a manager, due to short staff you serve customers, pack shelves and clean spills. Now I don't want to sound like a whiney brat but that's not for me!
Thankfully I have 3IP's in Wollongong region all positive cash flow ( 25 - 30k pa after all bills, interest etc ) due to CG since purchase and low LVR 35% currently. So albeit it not much income to live off it will keep me a float in the short term till I find work.
I sit on these forums a lot and 90% of my faves and tabs are real estate orientated ( wont tell you the rest ha ha ) so I am thinking about getting into Real estate as a career. After reading on here im not sure what I would specialise in, because theres pros and cons with all aspects ofcourse.
Would it be a good idea to get a certificate of registration in my now freed up time, just as a pre requisite almost or is there better value in doing full time study to land a role. ( obv depends on what role )
Can any property managers weigh in as to what qualifications they had behind them initially.... and if there is actual career progression? Id really like to live off my investments down the track like many of you do, im only 26 atm so I have some time before that.
Salary of the job is not important for me, well it is, but to a lesser extent than lifestyle, happiness and fulfilment - things I wasn't previously getting from my employer. I feel like property is going to be the vehicle for this and want to work in the industry..... But for now I guess ill enjoy a sabbatical, spend time with the gf and family, practise my poker face, and develop a less embarrassing golf swing.
Thanks for your time, Ramos
