Hello, i'm not new to the forum but i have been gone a while and i have a tough decision on whether to pursue Mortgage Loan Officer job or try scaling a business somehow. Since loan officers work more than 40 hours per week earn on avg and earn about 70k a year or so i figure i could work that and use disposable income to buy more rental properties since i currently only have one.

Or should i say forget working tons of hours for someone else, i might as well build a business that provides value and work for side hustles like doordash on the side?
