But that's what is happening with RE these days there is this thought that you can become rich and independent buying it... nothing can be farther from the truth unless you buckle down and get into it full time.. creating commission income to support you why you invest. this allows you to take all the write off's etc.But to each his own.. the last thing I would do if I was in this persons shoes is spend all my liquidity on an ill liguid asset that is half way across the country that will never be worth more than I paid for it and my performace is subject to some team I have to put together. the reality if somoen rolled into town and said I am going to buy 100 units and I want you to manage them all that's one thing.. some investor who can buy one 30k house.. how much can you realistically do for that person..

I respect a husband/father who provides stability for his family over someone who may strike it rich but also may strike out and put his family at risk.The only thing I would recommend is that you 1st invest in your roth IRA (since you don't have a job yet), 2nd into your 401k up to company match, and 3rd into real estate.
