ChooseFi and BiggerPockets podcasts have been a huge influence on us and we hope to achieve FI through real estate.

It's great for re-fi quickly and getting your money out, with high returns, but the cashflow play doesn't seem to work on any deal.

For re-fi, I assume you are getting it from a traditional lender.

They realize that sfhs or under 30 units will not lead to FI and only another job.

Side note i am brand spankin new to real estate and the FI community.Thank you!

@Philip Romano I actually read most of what you wrote, and congratulate you for committing to becoming FI .Like @Matt M. said you'll need two years of consistent commissions as an Agent in order to qualify for financing.My suggestion would be to keep the licence, but start another w-2 career path altogether that pays decent base, but with scalable commission opportunities. 

If I just took the PM’s word on blind faith, that’s nothing shy of being professionaly irresponsible.Joe F. I

If you are looking into the FI/RE path, you need to decide what percentage of your retirement portfolio you want as real estate. 

Our parents are awesome but I found out later on that they are bad with money and we never talked about money growing up. i learned the hard way on how to manage money until finding the FI path on my own and I have been on the FI path for about 2 years now. 

Based on your comment expressing concern about building FI while still in debt, perhaps that is your answer?
