Don't quit your day job?

[Brandon Ellis]

Let me start by saying that I discovered this forum a few weeks ago and can't get enough. I feel like I have gained about 100 mentors overnight, and all I wanted was one.

My question is for seasoned investors who, at some point, quit your day jobs and jumped in with both feet. I know the experience will vary widely from case to case, but I would like to know how long it took each of you to feel you could count on your RE investments to support you and your family.

Honestly, I would love to quit my day job in 2 years. I know this is a lofty goal, but I am ready for a change, now! I have a lot to learn, but I am extremely determined and and eager to know all I can about the industry. Is my dream completely unrealistic?

Thanks. Brandon
