For example, if you are a "consultant" and have "consulting" gigs that are irregular and sporadic and have no consistent business that seems sustainable to an outsider.

My idea for a more sustainable future would be to get a job at major CRE firm brokerage in a junior role.

If a major employer like Ryobi, Knauf or Casino pull out for whatever reason, think about what would sustain a town like Shelbyville. 

Of what you've heard from other people, what resonates with you?

@Matt Feraco I've heard it said that you should replace your W-2 income for a sustained period of at least two years before quitting.

I understand there is a shortage of supply on the market in many of the areas but can we continue to see an increase in prices within the next 2-5 years and are these prices sustainable? 

No to real estate investment for the timebeing for me at least ( temporary)Because I already invested and I want to see how the market is doing, I want to learn more, networking.I am against real estate gurus who says invest in big amount and leave your job bla bla bpa, first when you invest in big amount and you do have cash the interest rate will be huge and this decrease your profit and yield/ cap , also high yield mean high risk second real estate as any business have good time and bad time so leaving your sustainable job and depends mainly on real estate investment is quite risky method, if one could generate double or triple his income real estate this is something else, I don't think typical person could rich quickly without high risk

Originally posted by @Bob Okenwa:You'd have to refinance the loan in the name of your LLC, and that loan would be a commercial loan with inferior terms (shorter amortization, higher interest) than a standard 30-year mortgage.I don't mind the interest adjustment, Does the LLC need to prove itself able to sustain the payment of the loan?

Also, as far as good signs for a market: look for job growth, population growth in the area in the last several years, see how many major employers are there, whether these major employers can sustain the population growth, whether these are the types of employers that will remain for a long time (in demand, like a Hospital or  College), also how close is a town to the large metro, can people get to work under one hour.

This is also a full time job for many of us and our livelihood depends on our deal flow and we need capital to sustain it.
