Realistic Timeframe to Quit your Job

[Mark Douglas]

I'm 23, with a decent 9-5 job.  I bought one duplex six months ago, and am looking to purchase a 4plex as my next buy/hold investment.  I'll need one more 4plex after this to cover my living expenses with the combined cash flow.

My question is two-fold:

1) How long did it take you to quit your job, or scale back the hours significantly?

2) Did you reinvest the cash flow into the property, or use it to live off of?
