So yeah, financial freedom does not exist in your thoughts or intentions yet, all that matters is getting started, that 1st deal, just that 1.

That's why I've decided to take the leap into real estate investing - to create a path to financial freedom, to build wealth, and to live life on our own terms. 

Hello @Daniel Windingstad,Live where you like but invest where you can make money.Out-of-state investing is often your best option if your goal is financial freedom through real estate, because the chances of living in a city that can support this goal are slim.

Either option is good but they both have pros/consNEW BUILD - You'll have all those warranties, 1 year, 2 year, 10 yearEXISTING HOME - You might have more freedom for what you can do with the house, no HOA & larger backyardA lot of new builds are offering interest rate buy downs that are lower than the regular market right now.  

If you REALLY want to get rich, find financial freedom, live life on your terms, and own your time, you’ll have to copy what the wealthy do and build a real estate investing strategy that fits YOUR life and YOUR goals.

Both are great ways to build wealth.I have no problem stating directly - Building a business is absolutely a faster path to financial freedom than buying rentals. 

I'm looking to break into the real estate market in an attempt to achieve financial freedom, like everyone else.

Hello Everyone, I’m Amire and I’m here to learn and indulge myself in the real estate realm to better my position in life along with creating a mindset to share with friends and family along my journey to financial freedom. 

My ultimate goal is to build a real estate portfolio that provides financial freedom, something I can manage passively on the side until it eventually surpasses my 9-to-5 income.Thanks everyone!

I can plan trips a year out and it will likely coincide with an active deal that needs more guidance than my asst can provide.I would add a #6 to your list of positives - FREEDOM!
