I would tell you as much as retiring sounds fun and all, if you don't have hobbies or even a small no stress job, it won't be a ton of fun.

It's so crazy combining vacation + investment + real estate + hobby.

The market would bear the cost assuming all investors passed the cost along to tenants unfortunately there are far too many hobby landlords that are killing our business.If we could get rid of the majority of small landlords that do not operate as a business our industry would be 10X healthier. 

Everyday hobbies:1.

Mechanical Engineer full-time and REI is my hobby but want to switch that around someday.

My favourote hobby is eating good food ;)  - -We have plenty of all kinds..To summarize, you should actually put Houston as first in your list because we have everything to offer for you and you won't regret it.

What started out as a distraction/hobby has blossomed into a pretty fun experience.I agree with @Dean West about most of your education coming post-first close.

Disposable income is very alluring, you can get new clothes, get a new phone, buy stuff for your hobbies.

When we met I was doing it as a hobby.

But I also have a family, a crap load of hobbies, and a second career.
