These motivated me to quit doing what i was doing and conduct a lifestyle switch.

As the more you experience, grow, and learn, you'll have a better understanding of how things work and what ventures may be best suited for your personality and lifestyle preferences.

Such potential and what a cool-lifestyle.

@Jordan Moorhead good strategy..personally doesn't fit my lifestyle!

I enjoy BP because of the mix of people using investing in ways that best suits their lifestyle (i.e. investing as a side hustle, full time investors, etc.) 

Was originally planning on purchasing and occupying a duplex in the city with a 3.5% FHA loan, but my wife and I were not willing to sacrifice commute and lifestyle (lived in a basement, not willing to do it again) to house-hack, so we ended up signing an apartment lease for another year.After receiving some inspiration and anecdotes from coworkers recently, I've recently become interested in buying, rehabbing and renting out a SFR in NW Indiana or SW suburbs around Joliet, IL. 

But I also put a lot of emphasis on "lifestyle value" as well while you are living somewhere for 5-7 years.  

Invest and buy based on fundamentals, interest rates, location, your lifestyle choices etc.

A house hack could be another great option for you around here if that's an option for your lifestyle.

Investors have figured out that traditional lifestyles are fraught with scams and falsehoods.
