m how would you fight your way to financial freedom?

I live in Irvine, CA where any and all real estate in my area or even around is CRAZY EXPENSIVE.

The number of times I've driven I-5 through Tacoma in the rain, convinced me long ago that there are better places to be spending my time than fighting traffic.

My Chattanooga duplexes were my first investments EVER (excluding my house hack), and it threw me in the ringer, for me personally struggle, and fear of loss puts me into fight or flight and I soak up knowledge and networked like crazy to make sure my investments would come out ok! 

I'm told, technically a verbal offer is binding but no one can prove it so there's no use in fighting. 

It's important to fight for a good deal, but to also be developing healthy relationships with the people you are working with.For the rest, it would be up to you!

(I'd rather live in a small apartment in Newport than a large home in Irvine.)Good Luck!

We were all flying high for a good number of years, then the number of str's grew so large that the locals lost their minds and started fighting tooth and nail against us.

Anything excessive could backfire on you and it's what causes tenants to fight you in court rather than move on. 

That profession has many veterans and some of them would fight you for position.I definitely would recommend a BRRRR strategy and tell you to be wise with your money when making repairs or doing rehab.
