I guess I should add my personal goals is to achieve freedom from the 9-5 job.

I plan on replacing my current income with enough cash-flow to reach financial freedom.

If they make your life miserable and you want them gone...good luck.Yes it gives the tenant more "freedom" to leave.....but it also makes them "fear" that if they mess with you, then you get to kick them out very quickly.

I ultimately want more financial freedom down the road and have an array of unIts.I am currently out priced fo where I live (oc ca) so I was thinking investing in the Midwest or the south.

Some may hope to walk on the moon or play in the NBA, well I want to reach financial freedom through my dream as a real estate investor.

The time you save in not searching turns to all the aforementioned and your opportunity to pick and choose how you involve yourself in each deal; thus partnering on the great stuff and wholesaling the good.Even 2% ownership in a com or multifam deal long term could be a great start to a passive income that allows you even more freedoms (choice).ALL of the value is in the deal.

I started a journey back in 2015 towards financial freedom with a goal of acquiring 50 units in 3 years time, and yesterday I was able to acquire a 19 unit value add apartment building in Berwyn with my partner @Scott Skinger With the 19 unit acquisition, I have gone from 0 to 52 units in just over 3 years time.Not only have I reached my personal goal of topping 50 units, but I also get an opportunity to re position a desirable asset in a growing neighborhood.

Is it freedom today or gratification sooner rather than later. 

(IE, financial freedom is when my investments pay $5000/month in cash flow.)

We read the book in a few days and we were hooked on the idea of financial freedom, the network marketing, not so much.
