Recommendations anyone?

[Joshua Betancourt]

Hello to you all,

My name is Josh and the book I'm reading recommended this site so I'm giving it a try. I'm 25 years old living in Miami fl. I was seeking some advice because my life is about to change after this law suit that I'm going through and I want use that money to buy myself a house. So let's say I make $300,000 ... My plan is to buy out a house cash because I do need somewhere to live I'm currently with my parents for the purpose to save what I can in order to buy my own place. I want to buy out the house because I don't want my house being a liability that way I can focus on obtaining assets. I was then thinking of using my VA home loan to purchase a second property to rent out. My goal is build up enough assets to have a great retirement or if I have enough to were I won't have to keep my job anymore. I currently make about $4,000 a month in my current job which I'm planning on keeping until I have reached my goal. Any recommendations or different ideas ?
