Congratulations!
If you are like me, you will LOVE not having to "request" time off & wait to see if someone "above" you will approve it.
I suggest you sleep in and do "nothing for about 2 days, then get busy with the rentals & continuing education, etc. --68.229.xxx.xxx |

If very handy then a lot of plumbing, minor electrical, repairs can be done in house instead of contracting out. Found by shopping a few different Habitat for Humanity restores where could buy things for lot less then then big box stores. Found when was a full time LL was able to cut expenses along with focus 100 per cent on rental properties. If want more information on a project then view some videos on You Tube. --74.220.xxx.xxx |

I’m curious how it’s a trail run? Are you taking a 3 month sabbatical with an option to go back after? What are you doing for health insurance? Did HHS offer a part time schedule if you wanted to stay on for less than 40 hours a week? --73.60.xx.xxx |

Jason[MI] Congratulations on this new adventure. I assume you will be at the MRLandlord convention. If not I strongly encourage you to take the time and money and attend. If you pay attention and have an open mind, what you learn will pay dividends in the first year if not the first week of getting back. And you will get to meet BRAD 20,000 [IN], that alone makes it worth the drive! --207.113.xxx.xxx |

I made the jump in 2012. Place I worked for shut the doors. I had the option to move to a different area and chose to do my own thing instead.
Fortunately the spouse got a new position and had insurance.
I could never go back. Might have considered it the first month, but not for long.
Congrats on the new life you are starting! --107.147.xx.xxx |

Cool news, congrats! I know many of here would like to hear a more detailed run down of how you got to where you are. As much as you're willing to share. Things like insurance coverage, how many months of reserves you're keeping back, whether you replaced just your full income or added X% above to cover employer "perks", etc.

Time will be the judge of your ability to deal with the issues of dealing with the rental business. Give yourself that time. If it doesn't work out, you can always sell.

Congrats!
I got forced into full time after a company layoff. I was already planning on it, so I was probably the only one walking out with a smile on my face. It was awesome! Haven't looked back since. I hope your trial run works out the same! --70.179.xxx.xxx |

1. Insurance.. i am still getting Insurance for now at my job for now. But have talked to Insurance agent an will be about 1300 a month with out any Obama money....but I can always get my agi lower by buying a fixer upper.. repairs.. HSA.. I have been setting aside 2k a month for insurance (I have 2k a month going from my rental account into a sp 500 index fun to represent Insurance cost)
2. Reserves.. My credit union pays 5.25% on checking up to 7500. So I always keep that around there. I have a lot in loc if I need it an have a lot of positive cash flow annlow bills.
3. Work income for over a year has been going into maxing out my 401k an 457 along with roth ira. Balance gets thrown into fidelity as my emergency funds. I have been living off rentals since Jan 1 of 2022.. I make probably 4 times in rental income than I do at job. I stayed for then insurance.

I run a day business. Decent income. Rental income is starting to be as much as day biz, though.
Have a tough time making time to manage rentals properly...cuz I have to put the day biz first.
Hmmm. Quitting the day biz=more time looking for good deals, handling the little piddly stuff that is hard to get handy guy for, and more time to manage the handy guys= more rental $.
Hmmm. --74.132.x.xx |

I got into FT LL when I was fired. Saw it coming and was preparing to sue the company. Sued and won...bought second property with my winnings. Took a day job that let me manage my properties from their office along with answering their phones. My tenants could come in to do business in the shared office arrangement which worked out well not having them come to my home.
JASON, remember, many on MR LL have seen what you will see as you get into your FT LLing, so ask away. Need to fix something you've not done before? As my husband has been finding out, there's always youtube dot com videos to the rescue. Even I've fixed a furnace after watching a few videos. --75.11.xx.xx |

I stay at my FT for benefits. I have enough time off where I just take it when I want. SO left paycheck work about 15 years ago and never looked back. Me? I would need to have some sort of schedule as we are leaving LLing. There are many things that need done at home and I could always work for my kids.. --73.230.xxx.xx |
