Real estate management as a "stay at home" parent

[Paul M.]

Is real estate something a stay at home parent can manage (assuming spouse works full time)? I understand that young children are demanding, but presumably if babies can be pushed in a stroller on walks and driven on errands, they can also be taken with you to show your rentals and do very light tasks. Maybe more heavy tasks would have to be done on weekends when your spouse was home to watch the baby.

Anyone have any experience with this kind of arrangement?

I think a lot of investors do it part-time. They either work full time or are full time parents. I think it comes down to if your willing to make extra time for it.

Building strong relationships with your power team is the key to any investors success, whether part-time or full time.

I started investing while working 80 hours a week. My time was limited but still make the effort to be as active as possible. Today that has paid off and now invest full time.
