While real estate investing aims to achieve financial freedom, this is only possible if you invest where rents outpace inflation and there is significant, sustained population growth.

@Christopher Mooney - I house-hack a 2 Unit Building in Bayridge Brooklyn which is a 45 minute subway ride to Manhattan Wall Street Financial District (a 7 mile drive).

My end goal is to have financial freedom in 10 years or less by bringing in $10k/month.

How often will you see financials?

They appear to be financial planners.

I've already had to turn multiple people away after running their credit reports, so I can already see that it's not going to be financially feasible for me to be covering the fees myself.

I'm new here so may not have a full view but the overall climate seems to be-anything to make a deal-ridiculous financing, leverage the home you life in-who cares where it is located it will be easy to rent/manage from hours away-don't be gracious with your tenants and housekeepersMy guess is a tilt toward young and not financially stable which is awesome if remaining sensible.

If we had gone with more optimistic assumptions then it would have been a very disappointing year financially at least.Every market is unique.
