When did you decide to do real estate full time?

Loving this forum and all the amazing success stories. 

I've barely got a toe in the bucket but being midtransaction on our third property, my compulsive obsession with number crunching has me wondering how much is enough to do this full time? Seems like a number of people here do so I'm curious when did real estate investing become your main source of income?

In my perfect world, I'd spend the next 5 years building a portfolio and 5 years after that training a really great business manager so after 10 I can quit my day job it can become more passive for me. Does it ever become passive or is it always about growth and then next deal?
