Hi Folks..
I have to admit that I'm getting really tired of programming, and there is so much I want to do with my properties, but I lack the time.
Eventually I'd like to move into investing full time, but I'm not sure how to approach this.
I can imagine that it would be much easier if I was self employed, just do less and less (trade) and more and more investing / renovating. It's hard to think about how to get out of a full time position (I'm a manager so part time work is a little out of the question at this point.)
So if there is anyone out there who has quit a full time job to invest/renovate, I have a few questions for you!
How did you go about sourcing OPM when on paper, you are unemployed? I know my OK salary makes a big difference in my servicability etc.
Did you have to draw down equity to pay the bills? What happens when the market isn't rising quickly? (Like now.)
Did you have any other sources of passive income (shares, managed funds etc)?
How large was your property portfolio when you took "the leap"?
4 weeks a year just aint long enough
