I have been growing the real estate sales side of my business over the last few years and am looking to spend a little bit more time on the investing side in the coming years. 

Once you get your systems down, you have a real estate business that you can take anywhere and be still be successful.

I have a plumber who made $700k net last year between him and his father, they put all that money either in a high yield savings account or put it back to their business.

@Luis Valles I've added wholesaling mobile homes to my business, if you're interested. 

Between job transitions, grad school, money tied up in other business ventures, and the rising interest rates, my real estate investing pursuits were pushed to the side.

Hey, I am beginner on this business.

Depending on your business model it will depend on how you want to incorporate your business.

By the time I got out of it I lost quite a bit but I was happy to free myself of the aggravation of doing business with these people. 

I would say that is currently about 50% of our business at the moment.

Look at your monthly payment (PITI = Principal,Interest, Taxes, Insurance) + HOA + (other maintenance fees if any) and if this amount is less than what you charge for rent (whether its Long, Mid, or Short Term rentals) and you are happy with the positive cash flow, then yes.Or maybe you're breaking even with the condo but you have  knowledge that the condo will explode in value due to some business/attraction/law/policy that will prop-up the sales price in the near future, then yes.Really, it boils down to what your goals are for this first investment.
