Going full time and expecting the unexpected

[James E.]

Hi all,

My question to all of you who have made the jump from corporate jobs to investing full time:

- EXCLUDING money, what were the biggest / most unexpected challenges you faced? For example, did you miss the social aspect of working in a large office? Did you miss (in a sick, twisted sort of way) having a boss to help keep you focused and on track? 

What are some other things along these lines that would-be full time real estate entrepreneurs should consider before "making the jump"
