After years of sticking with a job I hated and saving up enough money to feed my family for a little while, I decided to quit my "safe and stable" job to chase the dream!

Unless you are looking to buy and then sell quickly, market crashes shouldn't be a big factor into your property investment decisions.

So, is it safe to assume that you are forced to seek alternative financing? 

But when I worked out my numbers, I think I had to many questions on whether or not I was understanding the strategy correctly and doing the math properly to jump on it so quickly.  

Clearly the downside is each portfolio will not grow / compound as quickly due to lack of total focus.On the other hand / upside, if one does well  it can feed the other and if both do well that’s even better.My motivation for asking is because I am already 100% invested in stock market as I am just learning about REI.

My husband is very risk averse and I think we'll probably be more "slow and steady" than high risk quick climbers.

So while I feel very lucky to have had a handful of  "safe" opportunities to take action and gain insight,  I know this in no way qualifies me as an investor. 

I’ve learned very quickly that people will step all over you if you don’t take a stand.

I hope you come to understand that quickly and well.
