I want the lifestyle that will make money while i pursue it.

I would go back to your original listing and review the photographs and ask yourself the following questions: are there enough photos, are they professional quality or taken by your agent with their smart phone, are they staged well, were the photos taken at the best time of day, are they recent and current to the season you are in, have you included any photos to showcase the lifestyle and community, are the photos representative of reality?

Rental income can provide a consistent stream of cash flow, which can help you reach your financial goals faster.On the other hand, if buying a home for your personal use aligns better with your current lifestyle or if you're planning to settle down in Phoenix for the long term, purchasing your first home could be a good option.

If you increase your life style expenses you are not yet in the right mind set to achieve your investment goals.

You'll have to decide if it suits your personality and lifestyle more to work very hard on finding a deal, renovating it and getting it rented out and then slowing down to collect the rent long term (maybe your wife can help with landlording), or to flip the deal for small, short term profit and then do it again.Good luck!

We are now planning to buy homes in Midwest in  B Class neighborhoods so we can compare and decide what class of neighborhood we are most comfortable with.Since all 4 of us have jobs, investing in Real Estate  is primarily to generate enough passive income to fund our lifestyle and then go full time with investing and eventually retire from our jobs :-)  I hope I can network with other awesome folks on this site and learn a thing or two about investing in Real Estate.

Lifestyles Unlimited does not do this, so their "equity" is inflated/unrealisticstic.
