Hello everyone,My name is Tony and I recently quit my job as a poker dealer to pursue real estate investing full time.

Yup good job on the analysis.

Good job at keeping active man.

I suggest you both try to find a job as an assistant to a very good real estate agent.

I really don't want to join the rat race and work a corporate 9 to 5 job that has people struggling and sucking up to middle managers.

It will be a major job.

GRMs of 15 only make sense if you are a) owner-occupying one unit and/or b) absolutely convinced that the property will continue to appreciate.I am not hugely surprised that Utah RE is still doing well as Utah is one of the top states for job growth.

I think that anyone earning over $50,000 with their day job will benefit to some degree.

It would be easy to send out 100 pieces per week to test the market.If you have a job, how are you handling calls that you might generate from your letters?

I'm considering quitting my day job and going to school to get my real estate license.Income isn't an issue,I simply would like to have all the education and experience I am able before I jump into something like this.I have no exp. with real estate technically other than buying my own home,which was a new home and paid for pretty much with cash.If i'm able to comfortably do it,would you oldtimers suggest I switch my day job and work at becoming a realtor simply to get more acquianted with real estate?
