Take the Plunge REI Full Time?

Alecia Loveless
Posted

I currently work an easy 3rd shift job full time and 2 shifts a week at a second job part time. At my full time job I can spend close to 8 hours each night on real estate things if I want to because I have my time to my own.

However I'm feeling burnt out and would like to move to REI full time. I have 6 buildings with 12 units rented, I househack #13 and 2 more are being renovated.

If I utilize my cash flow and continue working the 2 part time shifts a week I will still have the same income. There are plenty of additional shifts should I need them at the part time job but I’m looking to downsize the W-2.

For those of you that have taken the plunge, did you have any regrets? Or would you recommend I stick with both jobs a little longer and raise capital to fund deals and retire in 4 years as was the original plan?
