I would recommend 2x your current wage income in cash flow before retiring your wage job.I have a friend that has about 25 doors and was working a plan towards walking away and his company laid him off about 12 months early...he worked it out anyway, just less money saved, and now he continues to do new and bigger deals with partners.

So the guy I'm learning to wholesale from told me to call around my area for a title company and ask if they are investor friendly and if they do double closings, etc.

Me and two of my friends who grew up together wanted to start either flipping or buying and renting properties in Long Island.

An older friend died who had a daughter.
