I recently graduated college and started my career as a mechanical engineer and have recently decided that while I love my job I don't want to work for the rest of my life, and real estate investing makes the most sense to me in order to gain financial freedom before I turn 60.I have been reading a ton of real estate books and discovered the bigger pockets book on rental property investing which gave me a great introduction to all the topics and possibilities in real estate.

I believe Scott has two duplexes (four units total) and he occupies one of them but he's still making a great living and headed towards financial freedom while living an abundant life. 

I am looking for ways to start in the real estate investing career, start my own business and pursuit my financial freedom to be able to provide a better future to my love ones.

In this episode of the BiggerPockets Podcast, we sit down with Rock Thomas, a real estate investor and agent who shows others the simple mindset shifts needed to achieve financial freedom.

Sounds like you're on the right track towards your financial freedom.

I'm a strong believer in keeping your people first and while the goal is to be able to have financial freedom so that I can travel around the world, I want to be able to make sure that I take care of home first and give back.I found a meetup in the next couple weeks actually and I am so excited to attend and network!

I know there is better out there for me and I don’t want to wait tell I’m 65 or 70 to enjoy life and have financial freedom.

@Matt EngleThank you for response, my goal is to reach financial freedom In the shortest time possible by using real estate as an investment vehicle, having the ability to be flexible and live the life I want and be around my family as much as possible, support my parents/famil y and build a community in my native country of Zimbabwe.

HelloMy name is Ron and I really feel like I’ve found the path for me to achieve financial freedom, and that’s by becoming a REI.
