Hi @Brennan Doherty In my opinion, the fastest way to grow your portfolio and reach financial freedom is to start with apartment investing from the beginning.

I have been exploring the topic of financial freedom for a long time, and though I haven't been able to realize that yet I believe it is possible for me. 

The main reason I even wish to sell it is not for the appraisal value, but because I would like to attain early financial freedom. 

I hope to, someday, be able to achieve financial freedom through real estate.

I graduated college, joined the work force and have been pushing forward my career, and now, 6 years in, yearn for something that will provide me with financial freedom sometime not-too-far down the road.

I believe this will help our family not feel as we are sacraficing as much in this path towards financial freedom . 

Congrats on being on the way towards your financial freedom and investing!

I feel reasonably equipped for what we are trying to accomplish ( financial freedom in 5 years) but wide open to suggestions, guidance, mentoring, and changing the plan as needed;when needed.   

Financial freedom?

While his opinion is based on his experience, I believe that waiting that long will not allow you to have the financial freedom that many are looking for.
