You can be the most earnest and inspired entrepreneur but the leviathan of the state is easily capable of quashing all your best laid plans with little effort.

A few side thoughts:1) You have zero downside leaving stability at 25 to chase a dream - worst case, you fall flat on your face and end up back in a 9-5.2) I've never met anyone who told me they regretted leaving a 9-5 in their 20s.3) Nobody takes you seriously unless you're doing it full time -- I've never met a successful realtor who only works weekends.4) 99.9% of entrepreneurs don't get rich.

Real Estate = self employed entrepreneur.

If you are are an entrepreneur minded person we should never discount a good place to find yourself.This is a good quote...  

As an entrepreneur, you should not care if they use it as a nursery or a warehouse, it is a business, unless you have the capital to play nice and be chossy for your own self-indulgence.   

Only you can answer which person you will be.Very true statement the folks in Know personally in the education industry will say that over 80% of those that pay for training never really implement what they are taught.. with many just residing to the fact that its just easier to buy some rentals or invest with pro's  IE syndication  REITS etc.. its tough and hard work to be a fully vertically integrated real estate entrepreneur.  

I would be willing to bet 90% of readers, if not more on BP, are interesting in becoming real estate entrepreneurs.
