Educating Yourself and Making it...

[Bryan P.]

Does it take a special person to get out of a "job" and do real estate full-time? If a person doesn't have alot of cash...Is this a wild dream or can it be done if a person is dedicated to learning.

I would love to do real estate full-time. I would love to flip and wholesale houses. I've flipped one house and that's it. Never a wholesale. So the full-time idea is a far-fetched dream for me.

I'd dedicated to learning and I read alot. I can absorb the information but I often wonder if this can ever be a full-time venture or if I'm going to dabble the rest of my life.

I know it's up to the person, but I want to hear if the idea is/was a reality for some of you.

If you have little money and a full time job then it takes complete dedication for 2-3 years. I left my job last August, and I had a very very good job. I started out with little money doing short sale flips (when they were easy) and then moved on to doing rehabs. I turned down a lot of happy hours, parties, baseball games, weekend trips, 8 hour sleeps, etc to get to where I am now but it is worth it.
