Question for the full time investors

[Deadrick Colbert]

I currently work a full time job and have been investing this past yr in my spare time. I started out wholesaling and have recently started rehabbing. Eventually I'd like to quit my job and pursue real estate full time. My plan is to save a years salary before I take the plunge in order to have a safety net and not feel pressure to take on bad deals just to get a deal. For the investors that have made it full time already, what was your strategy or what tips can you give me?
