How do people invest in real estate while working a full time job?

I'm still in the learning phases, but trying to both stabalize my income and also figfure out how I could invest in real estate while working fulltime 40-50 hours a week. I imagine there is a lot of work and things that need to be sorted during the day and cant wait for the weekend. 

So how does one balance a ton of work with starting out buying real estate?

There are 168 hours in a week. You are sleeping 56 of those, maybe, so that leaves 112 hours. You are working 40 hours. So, you have 72 hours left to work with. Math says you have a lot more time than you think, but you have to figure out how to balance it.

I agree with others that your best start is at real estate investing meetups. They are always after work and you will start to learn, face-to-face, how others do it. There are a lot in the Tampa area.
