What do you like most/least about working in real estate?

[Amie D.]

I am currently in the middle of a career change and the thought has crossed my mind of becoming a full-time real estate investor. I mostly have experience in rehabs/flips and rentals, though only through a few houses so far and not full-time.

What do you like most/least about what you do? And if you started this out on the side, what convinced you to move full time? How many properties do you think you can own (with hiring PMs) while still keeping it as a side business?

Thanks for any info!
