Introduction
Hello, my name is Kyle White and I am a CPA in Santa Monica. I am new to real estate investing but I would like to get started. I am studying for my real estate license and I would like to know the best way for me to become financially independent. I'm assuming that this means buying one property at a time and taking a home equity line of credit to purchase additional properties and then rent out these properties.
Is this the best way to become financially free?
