I went out of state (Kansas City) last second and glad I did, it's worked for me so far.... and in theory had I deployed the capital needed to make a mortgage same as my rent I'd EASILY be able to cover my rent and then some.I will lose the appreciation game, but I was never into that for investing anyways... plus I have the freedom to move as needed when life happens IF I need to even if that's not on the table now.

Financial freedom in 5 years is a very aggressive goal.

This is the point which you have it all ... freedom, time, money, and a growing business.   

A simple path to Financial freedom is: Save 50% of your income, use your savings to invest in a multifamily property that cashflows and can allow you to force appreciation by rehabbing it. 

As a renter, I have "location freedom" in that I can change addresses relatively quickly when compared to owning a home that might not sell right away.

I think buy and hold is the best route to long-term financial freedom.

Because dont get me wrong I actually love my "JOB" but thats just it i dont want a "job" any more and again i love what i do and have always done but im looking to whole heartedly do my own rehabs and wholesale deals and all ive been doing is gaining knowledge every day i study something read and listen to everything that can help me with my goal of gaining Financial freedom and so its now time to implement , Its now time to get ready to get out there and locate these deals and i know they are out there how ever i here some people say to get your llc first, and i here others say you dont need that till later, so really what do i do ?

i have 100k saved up i dont want to work anymore because its trades and i cant do it with my body any longer. can someone please help me on how i can get freedom 

But I really focus on my CoC return as this is what gives me that financial freedom.

This will allow me the financial freedom to go back to school and get the education I wasn't able to get because of my responsibility to my family.I'm in the Hoke county area and I have seen many homes posted on Realtor-com in that price range, mostly mobile home REO.
