Like all members of the BP community, I have goals and ambitions (Laughably large and ambitious to some/honestly most) for the life and legacy that I plan to leave.

It’s been awhile since I first joined the BiggerPockets community with grand real estate investing ambitions.

I’m a starting out investor with no deals under my belt but I have a lot of ambition,and I know this business is going to be my key to financial freedom.

I do have ambitions for the future to establish rentals and even begin flipping houses once I both learn the industry as well as have sufficient passive income to do this full time.  

And of course properties can still cash flow nicely if you can find good deals.I am looking to partner with someone local to the Indianapolis area with serious ambitions to build a Multifamily RE portfolio. 

He changed his mind an was not on board with the house hacking idea, and has no ambition towards financial independence and would be perfectly happy drowning in debt living the “American dream”.

@Lawrence RatliffFirst off I commend you for the hustle, the ambition, and the huevos (Spanish for eggs referring to something else) to start your RE pursuits.but ...1) I agree strongly with @Justin R.2) I am not a big fan of any of the so called "rules" but the one that I use as a quick guide on ROI calculations is the 50% rule for lower cost units. 

Lastly, how will your buying ambitions in Florida be hampered if you don't sell?

I have sold hundreds of investment properties over the years with the ambitions to one day buy my own.
