Bad idea to get into apartment investing with a full-time job?

[Kevin Nguyen]

Ultimately I want to invest in apartments one day. My original plan was like most others: buy a bunch of SFH rentals until I can upgrade to an apartment. But, then I thought why not go straight into apartment investing? Other people here have done it, except they quit their full-time job. Thus, making me believe apartment investing is a time intensive full-time gig.

If I can find enough capital to make a down payment on a small apartment complex or somehow partner with a team for bigger deals, is it a good idea to still work my full-time job?  Very detrimental?
