i'm a young full time investor as well, and own apartment buildings, rental houses, sell houses on owner terms, lend small amonts money, and flip houses...it's very difficult to start a career in renting properties, unless you own several...if you learn about the 50% rule on these forums, you'll see that a good goal is to earn about 100 bucks per property per month with a mortgage.....once you know how much you want to make, you'll know how many apartments/houses you'll need to meet these goals..i make most of my money on my flips, and take that money and use it to buy aparments and rental houses...the apartments are a full time job (partly bc i dont' trust property managers), but also bc there's always something that needs to be done...it isn't as easy as collecting rent on the 1st and never hearing from your tenants again...then again, flips require a lot of attentino as well...leave a rehab up to a general contractor, and you'll be over budge, over schedule, and still have an unfinished house...these are my experiences...others may be different....if you have a stockpile of cash, have you considered parterning with somebody that has experience??
