IMHO, if I was going to want to essentially quit my job in 10 years, I would want to secure keep some of my funds liquid to safeguard my family, as well as, ensure that I was able to successfully manage all of my properties without the need to reenter the workforce.Hope this questions help us better assist you in realizing your dream!

But dream big.

I have no money of my own to invest in my first flip houses, but I'm ready to get to work and live the dream of the successful unemployed.

I'm a 24 year old pharmacist just looking for more opportunities and dreaming big.

There are 20 million houses Travis That have very little equity and these houses sometimes are on quiet streets and they need no work and they are paid up so they're not in trouble, not distressedYou make money by being a problem solver for the seller and making 3 per cent as an assignment fee.What a lot of people don't realize is sellers need help but they don't understand the costs to sell with an agentCosts to sell include commissions, closing costs, sellers concessions, spruce up costs like paint and landscaping, and vacant house while the house is being sold through the agentI describe this in a long post in the starting out section of the forms, so look for that long posters a few hours involved thereBottom line here is the spring is going be really tough for real estate agents in general, and if they would focus on helping sellers selling on terms verses for cash they would make a lot more moneyAn agents would make a lot more moneyAnd buyers would get their dream home in their chosen neighborhood in their perfect school district today, not making some landlord in some crappy apartment or rental house :)

People want to buy that dream!

I dream of one day doing what you did.  

I have big dreams of owning more rental properties and am excited to join the Bigger Pocket forums.
