Quiting My Day Job After X Amount Of Owned Rental Properties... Good or bad idea and why?
I've purchased 8 my first year and a half through a line of credit/refi process while working a full time day job on the side.
What number/amount of cash flow is the magic number to leave my day job to concentrate full time on real estate if ever?

Just remember quitting your day job suddenly takes away your ability to get financing.
Banks typically need to see at least 2 years of rental income to count it towards your debt to income.
