My goal is financial freedom for my family and a life full of giving and serving.

@Robert BishopTo prepare for your first real estate investment, build a strong financial foundation with a credit score of 700+ and an emergency fund.

I do have folks that don't book because of that.That is a good thing as not understanding the distance to get places will create bad blood and cause those 2 and 3 star reviews which no one wants to see.Like @John Underwood, our place isn't cheap so we don't get the folks that destroy places.The bottom line is that you are renting out an expensive asset to strangers for 3-10 days or whatever.

Some assets can be valued significantly lower than their actual worth because of illiquidity and other factors.

If you have not yet, try building your financial model with this in mind.

Prioritize your financial stability.

Trade some comfort for financial stability.Part of attaining financial success is being simultaneously optimistic and paranoid. 

How long it takes to be financially ready is different for everyone.

Prioritize your financial stability.
