Finally put in my 2 weeks notice!

After 8 years at the 'day job' and 5 years of working in Real Estate on the side, I'm finally going full-time into Real Estate. A lot has changed since I was on BP Podcast 175, including selling one of our apartment complexes, starting a Property Management business, and doing over 60 transactions as a Real Estate agent. Excited to see what will happen now that I'm able to focus on Real Estate full time. Bigger Pockets has been a big driver towards these successes and I'd encourage everyone to stick with it and take advantage of BP. Big things will happen!

Matt Wood that’s awesome. Your post gave me great hope. I’m looking forward to walking away from my day job. I’m giving myself 3 years and I will never work another corporate job again.

Nice job dood! I plan on doing the same thing as soon as possible. I just became a real estate agent in January and finally have my 1st listing ready to go. I'm also in the process of closing on 6 properties, 19 units this coming Monday. I'm almost to the point of replacing my 9-5 income never to go back!
