Going "full-time" in real estate investing is mostly a function of the income you need to live vs. the cash flow that your properties generate.I have several clients that have gone full time at various points in their REI journeys - it also depends on whether or not they are generating income from other real estate-related areas (e.g., real estate agent, property management, etc.).

They will know market data and trends better, have reliable comps to base their recommendations on, and could even be a great deal flow with current portfolio properties selling.The completely remote, centralized PM function is one of the reasons why you see the homes owned by PE firms sit on the market so long.
