Have a baby, and gallop into the sunset (while still making calls to PM's)INTEREST:I first got interested in Real Estate Investing because of the potential financial freedom it can provide to me and my family.

The goal is to achieve and maintain financial freedom.

Whether you should take a retirement distribution or not depends on several factors1) How much do you value the freedom/flexibility to ues the money NOW compared to when you are 60 years old.2) What type of return can you get having cash vs investing in an IRA / SDIRA.If you can make a 1% - 2% better annual return in your personal name, it may make sense as the added return will pay for the penalties over a couple of years.I personally cashed out of my retirement account back in 2016 and it was the best decision I made.

However, financial freedom isn’t a one-time event; it’s about sustaining your desired lifestyle for the rest of your life.Once you have your goals, the next decision is where to invest.Investment Market/CityThe investment city determines all long-term income characteristics, including whether rents rise fast enough to outpace inflation and how long your income will last.Understanding inflation: It takes more dollars to buy the same goods every time you go to the store.

I'm also in FL and am a RE investor (STR/MTR/LTR), developer, and just love RE and the freedom it brings.

Do you want time freedom? 

And now you're still young enough to really enjoy that kind of freedom.

I knew I needed a path to financial freedom, but I didn’t have any connections in the industry.

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