@Camille JohnsonHi Camille,Not everyone is suited to be successful at every type of job.Personality type, lifestyle choices, daily habit choices, personal goals, likes and dislikes all come into play.Not to say he can't or won't be able to do it, but a good first step might be to explain the whole thing to him.Explain all of the good and the bad points of it, and what type of effort it involves and see if he is interested.If he's not, then ask him what he wants to do, and if it's different, be supportive of that goal.Good Luck!

Spend time with my family, help others, and build a business.I presumed the best road to that is to ramp up real estate investing to start generating passive income until I have met the threshold needed to support my family’s lifestyle then quit my full-time job.

Hello Bigger Pockets Community,As a young professional model in NYC I began looking for a side job that would work with my on the go lifestyle, castings, and bookings. 

This wouldn't be due to any discrimination of a protected class, but more-so their lifestyle (someone who seems to party a lot vs someone more professional).

@Eric SmithLiving paycheck to paycheck is a lifestyle, not a temporary situation that can be fixed by making more money.

I personally like the lifestyle automation that helps with the ongoing maintenance, so I can live life without distraction.I am sure many in Bigger Pockets can add their experience in many of these areas.

I have been watching the youtube channel for BP, reading books, and following some of the discussions here in the forums, and I decided that I need to get in on this real estate investment lifestyle.
