We also hope to gradually get into buy and hold investment properties in the local area.I'm looking forward to learning a lot from what this great site has to offer - I'm already addicted to the podcasts!

You will be addicted soon.

I think you are mad even thinking giving up a 6 figure income to go into real estate, especially if you want to buy and hold.The biggest problem all of us building portfolios that aren't based on 100% debt is having a sizable income in the first place.Do not underestimate how much of an addiction buying property is, once you get past ten units you have it real bad, and then, that 6 figure income you walked away from didn't seem so bad after all.I'm a buy to own investor, I deal cash, I work during the summers in a completely different field to pay for our addiction.

Like any addict, they require greater and greater stimulation to keep from crashing.

I am also addicted to learning thank you all for your insight and well detailed mentorship.I look forward to hearing from you all,Devin

@Mel Hignell the first thing you need to do is get your friend some help for porn addiction.

However,  in that case, the seller an addict not a bank and therefore relatively reasonable.So, know what the deal is with water, gas and electric bills in your state.
