Quitting everything for full-time investing, big mistake?

I recently decided to become a full-time real estate investor but quickly realized the amount of time I have on my hands. I’m in the process of getting my license and Ive been doing DMs, barely going outside. What are some things you do as an investor on a daily basis? Do you have a regular job?

Replied

More than 10 years ago, I retired from my day job and have actively managing all of my rental properties. Soon I will be completing a major remodel and will be beginning a short plat.  Eventually I will have two duplexes on this large property.  

While RE investing is generally passive, in my case I actively manage and qualify as a professional RE investor.  It is possible to quit your day job, but you need a plan and sufficient income to support the decision.
