Where to start? Seems impossible to break in to this
It seems like this is an impossible task with both limited funds and time. I work full time and with a kid in day care, how do you have the time and money to buy, rehab, and rent a multi family building?
What’s the best way to become financially independent?

As far as I can tell, the answer is OVERTIME. To get ahead, we're going to have to work overtime and give up sleep, time with family, alcohol etc. But it is worth it. I fill my head with stories about people who put in the time and made it big. I just listened to THE WEALTH CHOICE. Made me feel like a spoiled brat and helped me get up earlier in the AM to get s%&$ done! Essentially, all the podcasts tell us to be Buddhist. "Life is suffering, it has a purpose, learn to deal with it, it will be worth it".
