So you've just admitted you will give capitalism up and allow socialism to take over....for health care.

Ditto socialized healthcare 7.

Leverage is a 2 edged sword...Leverage in your business as much as you can...but, personally you should be deleveraging to create personal freedom....For most starting out those 2 things are one and the same...So, when the business is leveraged.. they are also, personally leveraged...And when the blade flips....You get cut...If you're lucky.. it's just a flesh wound....If your not...

I like biotechs and health care related companies.

If I'm making 50%+ return on my money each year doing these small RE projects it seems to me that paying the tax is a small price to pay for total freedom/flexibility and the ability to maximize my profits.

I am saddled with student loan debt but want to build wealth and gain financial freedom.

That's why I'm trying to get in to something within real estate that generates more freedom for me, specially now that I'm getting up there in the age category.

I just purchased Michael Blanks new book on Financial Freedom and Real Estate investing that will be here on Wed.

:)I am from scorching AZ and thought I would introduce myself.Below is my profile "about me".In 2018, the light bulb went off for me.Many of you know this feeling.I have committed my life to personal development and attaining financial freedom, using real estate as that vehicle.Currently, I am a physical therapy student.I am working on the skills of attaining money, keeping money, and using money.My 5 year plan is to save what I can as a broke student, eventually completing my savings as a graduate and new physical therapist.Over my next 5 years of saving, my goal is to read over 150 books and learn everything I can about real estate and business topics.I believe this knowledge and quest to build relationships with local investors will allow me to hit the ground running once my savings and career goals catch up.I lover BiggerPockets, and I am excited to be active in the community.I am a newbie, but I will not be a newbie that posts one time and disappears forever.Say Hi!
