As Account Closed mentioned, the first question is to decide if you want to invest actively or passively. 

The income isn't covering the costs (maintenance, capex) and you've only gained 15% appreciation in the three strongest years we've seen in a long time.

Do a search for Background Checks on the Passive Pockets site.

It takes longer to realize, but the gain is worth so much more than a couple hundred dollars of cash flow a month.

But starting with single-family can be a great way to gain experience and confidence before tackling larger deals.If you were someone I knew personally, I would probably suggest multifamily, but it's not for everyone.

Very large out-of-pocket medical expenses are also part of this game.Balance gains and losses on your investments.

Yeah exactly, I use funded accounts so Im not risking my own money on my day trading income and have one of the best traders in the industry that is mentoring me who has made millions and millions but yeah that is a primary factor why I want to get into real-estate is the more long-term aspect and the slightly more passive side to the income ( obviously not negating work but when compared to a job income ) Thanks for your insight and the warning on day trading is 100% valid and most people lose money especially people trading with their own money.

Do some wholesaling and fix & flips for some cash now, but also buy some rentals and land for some long term gains.
