Don't Quit Your Day Job for Real Estate

The number one thing though for anyone getting involved is don't quit your day job too soon. I see this mistake. People think that they can get a rental house or two getting into the game and quit their job. It's not the case. They're not going to make that much money. You can look in the rearview mirror in 10 years and you're going to be in a really nice position if you just hung in there. But if you are getting into safe investments, pretty often, more than not, they are, you know, lower returns. They are not, you know, if somebody is comparing what a stock market return has been the last year relative to real estate, to completely different things. You can't compare a 15% here to a 15% there because they each have their perks. Uh, I just like things that are tangible that I can control, and that's why I focus more of my energy on real estate. People should spread it out though, just safe stuff.
