164: Rookie Reply: How Do I Escape My 9-5 with Real Estate Investing?

Real Estate Rookie

This week’s question comes from Nash through Ashley’s Instagram direct messages. Nash is asking: How do I quit my job and become a full-time real estate investor?

Nash isn’t alone in asking this question. Almost every Real Estate Rookie Podcast listener has pondered this as well. Even our hosts, Ashley and Tony, asked themselves this before leaving their jobs to pursue real estate investing full-time. What makes today's episode even more special is that Ashley’s partner, Daryl Clinch, just left his nine-to-five as well! Daryl is here to help answer Nash’s question on exactly what it took to leave his back-breaking work and pursue financial independence.

Here are some suggestions:

• Live below your means—it’s much easier to replace your income when your expenses are low
• If you have no investing experience, find an investor that could benefit from your knowledge
• Calculate your “worst-case scenario” (it’s probably not as scary as you think)
• Quit professionally so you can return to work (if needed)
• Stay educated by listening to the Real Estate Rookie Podcast!
• And more in the episode…

If you want Ashley and Tony to answer a real estate question, you can post in the Real Estate Rookie Facebook Group! Or, call us at the Rookie Request Line (1-888-5-ROOKIE).
