168: Rookie Reply: How Much Cash Flow Do You Need to Quit Your W2? w/Daryl Clinch

How much cash flow do you need to quit your day job and go full-time into real estate investing? You may have a big number in your head when we ask that. Maybe you’re thinking of replacing a six-figure salary with six-figure cash flow, but that's probably far from what you truly need to quit. In fact, you can quit with a lot less cash flow than what you’re being paid today! Joining us again is Daryl Clinch, who recently went full-time into real estate investing with his mentor and partner, Ashley Kehr. Daryl transitioned from seasonal employment to full-time investor after working at his job for sixteen years and deciding he needed a change. In today’s show, Daryl breaks down exactly how he prepared to quit, the cash savings he had, and the surprising amount of cash flow that allowed him to achieve occupation-independence! Looking to do the same as Daryl? Here are some suggestions: Find a mentor who can fast-track your knowledge and learn from them Partner up on deals with other investors and provide value whenever possible Calculate your true cost of living to find your minimum cash flow to quit  Keep a strong safety reserve so you can focus on getting deals (not paying bills!)
