Time to go Full time Investing?

[Alecia Loveless]

My W-2 is in a small health care setting where I am basically a social worker. Recently 2 of our 8 clients have presented with a permanent life long incurable health condition that is contagious but if you are fairly obsessive about hygiene such as avoiding Contact and hand washing you will not contract it.

Now that the second client has been diagnosed I am 95% certain it’s time to retire from this position and go to real estate full time. I was planning to do this in May of 2026 when I turn 50 but I think the time is right.

How many people took the jump to doing real estate full time before they thought they were “completely ready”, and how did it work out?
