Try to invest full time? OR keep W2 job and invest part time?

[Chris Harpe]

Greetings BP Community! Hoping some wiser members who have maybe faced this predicament before could share some wisdom. I'm a 20-something with no kids, no pets--very few commitments. I own a condo, and I'm currently house hacking it, but not quite living for free in it. I'm also working full time as a w2 employee. I'm not making as much as I could at my current job, but the job is at least very flexible.

I'm trying to decide:  is it better to quit my job and pursue investing full time? Or better to try to invest part time while working my current job? OR should I find a new job that pays more that is less flexible, and try to invest part time? OR should I try to work full time in something related to Real Estate (maybe working as an agent or GC) and try to invest part time?

The goal is to reach financial independence as fast as possible through monthly cash flow. 

Thank you.

I live and work in Asheville, NC if I can every assist you with anything in this area, please drop me a line!
