I am a motivated individual that is tired of being disappointed at the lack of money I make at my 8-5 healthcare job.

It is a LOT easier and you will eventually find yourself in a position where you watch others that MUST work while you have a lot of freedom to do other things. 

My two cents: avoid condos because there's a lot you can't do when you join a condo HOA and you don't want your investor freedom restricted.

If I ever decide to leave my corporate job I would consider flipping on the side as a way to keep my network fresh and generate cash for investments.Ultimately, investing is using money to get more time (freedom) and flipping is using time to get more money.

As oppose to stocks, I know if done right, REI can help bring in a supplemental income and provide financial freedom.

Not sure if this is the right form for literature recommendations, regardless...Looking for good reads covering Realestate Investing, Refurbishing Homes, Assessing home values, and ANYTHING ELSE You feel would be beneficial to someone working towards financial freedom.

Hey man congrats on your first step towards freedom man read as much of the stuff as possible and listen to as many podcasts as you can.

Before being an insurance agent I was working in the health care industry for almost a decade.

It sounds like your well on your way to Financial freedom.

Super excited to see a young man like yourself pursuing skills to achieve financial goals and freedom and not relying on a paycheck from others.
