SonuI have lived in Final for 6 years.

Yea, fire your boss and live off real estate.

I'm on house number 4 that I've lived in and renovated, so I agree that's a good strategy (I've done it just through life, not actually a purposeful strategy). 

I plan to move down to Miami to be closer to more investors and a better quality of living.

That said, I wanted to share my story about how I found an out-of-state property, got it rented, and set it on autopilot.BackgroundI’m in my late 20s, living in a very high cost of living city and working in tech.

I do pretty decent for my age, and I live at home still, so I've been saving up a lot of money.

As others have said, it's all about your life situation.

I live here and househack as well - can provide a first hand perspective.

And that extra $40-$50k a year will be life changing.

But as a new investor, sometimes this advice leads you to only have cheerleaders in your life.
