SoCal Newbie Looking For REI Direction

[Tim Wright]

Hi BP!,

Im very excited to reach out for advise from the BP community! For the last year or so I've been working OT/side jobs and everything in between to build up $$$ to get in the REI game. I've submerged myself in BP threads, podcasts, and books to help determine a solid direction for myself. With all the different perspectives and success/failure stories, I find myself even more undecided on which way to go. Haha.

Any advise on direction would be greatly appreciated given my situation.

Goal: Financial freedom

My why: Spend more time with my wife and kids enjoying life without the burden of a 9-5

My location: Southern California

Age: 30

REI focus: Cash flow and as hands off as possible utilizing PM

Cash to work with: 50k. I do have 80k in equity in my home

Freedom number: 7k/month

Thank you in advance!
