Making the jump to full-time RE investing
I would like to start investing in rental properties full-time but am not sure how I would be able to pay my bills if I quit my job. I am curious how some of you made the jump to full-time RE investing, and wanted to see if anyone had some tips.
I thought this thread may be helpful for people who have lost their jobs and have always wanted to go full-time into real estate investing. Look forward to all your comments.
Thanks

My advice...don't quit your job until you have enough money saved that you won't stress over not having an income for several months (or years)...
I'm a full-time RE investor, and couldn't imagine the stress of just starting out and not having several years worth of savings...especially with a family who depends on you...
