When did you quit your full time job?

[Matt Feraco]

I am interested in BRRRR-ing properties and flipping properties. In my view, this is a full time job to achieve a significant level of success. Even if paying contractors and building a team to do 100% of the work, meeting contractors, viewing properties, etc all take time away from a "real" job at best and more likely than not require time during work hours to do these and move quickly and efficiently.

 I've had others tell me I'd be a fool to walk away from a secure job to jump in blind. What success have others had when transitioning from a traditional 9 to 5 job to full time real estate investing?
