I don't think it is very wise to become a full time Investor without any real kind of group health insurance such as those provided by a full time job.
If you are single, I actually think you should continue to work full time and only invest part time or as much as you can handle. But, it might be best to do it in a specific way.
House Hack it on a multifamily. Make the Investment as easy as possible to manage while you work, continuing your full time job.
I am one of the few who would advise to continue to build up the profession that you studied so hard to become, excel at it, and then build up your real estate portfolio as your career moves up.
When you reach the point that your RE Portfolio makes you Financially independent, even if you have to live below your means, AND you can afford the Self-Employed Healthcare costs, then you have the option to quit your profession.
To do it differently is a Risk that I did not take.
It only took me 9 years from starting my first full time job to quitting after I had a property portfolio of 3 buildings. At that time, my salary reached 6 figures and I was able to pay off a Mortgage to increase the Cash Flow, which made me Financially Independent at the age of 36.
The discipline that it took me to learn and the experience that I built up during this time was very helpful for me. Now my Partners and I have a portfolio of 10 buildings worth $20 million in Brooklyn, NYC.
I continue to use the skills and connections I have in my previous career and have become a Partner in a Software company.
There are so many advantages and safety in progressing in both your profession and your Investment careers.
To me, unless you were born with a Golden Spoon in your mouth, an Entrepreneur that had nothing will be working harder than a 9 to 5 employee.
If you do it this way, I fully believe you will increase the odds of your success significantly.
