It's been a topic mentioned extensively on the forums, podcast, blog, and in our webinars. 

EVERYONE seems to want to quit their job with real estate.  We know it's possible, we've seen it done.  What we don't have is a forum thread full of responses to this question.  Let's hear it folks - who successfully quit their jobs through real estate??

Specifically, if you've quit your job largely due to you success in real estate investing, please answer some of the following questions for the community:

What were you doing before, and what do you do now (professionally)?

Is your passive or business income from real estate the same, greater, or lesser than when you were working a job?

Do you "live the dream" and travel/vacation year round, do you focus on building your empire to ever greater heights, or do you pursue some other passion?

How long did it take you to build up a real estate portfolio sizable enough for you to "retire" on?

How much time does your real estate business consume per month?

Looking forward to hearing the responses from some of those folks that have succeeded with this!

We'd like to brag about your accomplishments to the world!  Let us know and let us share your success to inspire others!
