You can loose it all in a Market Shift.

My current employer does offer some matching though so thought it was always best to at least capture this, not to mention my employer only lets me contribute up to about $8k towards my 401k.And yes John it seems kind of silly of me, but I work enough as it is at my current job, so when I pick up extra shifts I don't want to do so unless I am getting a decent amount more than base pay as opposed to my calculation of 1.1x base, otherwise I rather spend that time doing different stuff I enjoy like learning about real estate lol (which if it isn't apparent I have much to learn).Thanks again!

However we work different shifts so our house is lit n on at least 18hours a day.

On our first property we also built our first vaction rental and we have now shifted our focus due to the higher margins we were finding on our vacation rental.  

It' just a mindset shift that needs to be made.P.S My team and I have wholesaled over 100 properties in the California and Nevada markets within the last 2 years.

You're most likely responsible for the AC, water heater, and anything "inside the box" like plumbing, electrical, flooring, kitchens, and bathrooms.If you find a cash flowing condo, the only real concern in my opinion is shifting HOA management and fees.

Shifted gears and am now happily working in IT Security.

I'm also beginning to shift my focus towards that direction too and am eyeing the 50+ units.

When they do, that will take some of the pressure off real estate prices, but it won't be a crash.As long as you bought right and have a solid investment, that kind of shift should have virtually no effect on you

I'm newish to Houston and looking to shift my investments from appreciation plays (4 or less units) to Mom and Pop Multi-Units that could use improvement.
