Quitting my current job
I currently own an SFR that is producing long term rentals, in fact I haven't even been to the house since I bought it 2 years ago. My management company is charging 8% but saves me a 1 hr drive when problems or basic maintenance arise.
Regardless there is another house near lyn that I would like to buy if the numbers make sense, that being said if I buy this property it will most likely a lot of my time and energy ( and money ) to fix it up.
Would now be a good time to quit my current stable job and go all in on treating real estate as a business not just a side gig?
I’ve often wanted to own my very own business anyway.
Basically my question in a nutshell: at what point do you take the jump and say “I’m quitting my job and taking on real estate as my very own business?

People typically transition when their real estate net income exceeds their living expenses or matches their job income.
