If you truly want to "retire" young, keep investing and living your life you'll need a ton more.

I would talk first to an electrician as many do fire alarm and life safety.

A single-family home or small multi-unit property can be a great way to dip your toes in the water.Build a Team: Even if you’re planning to handle most things yourself, having a good real estate agent, property manager (if needed), and a reliable handyman can make life so much easier.Learn the Local Laws: Pensacola is pretty investor-friendly, but it’s always good to know local zoning laws and short-term rental regulations if you’re thinking about Airbnb or VRBO.Run the Numbers: Make sure you’re clear on the property’s cash flow potential.

Was truly one of the best financial decisions of my life. 

I will give you my real life example.

While I don’t regret anything in my life if I was to go back in time I would finish the real estate degree and go into something real estate when I graduated at 22 instead of doing it half-as**ed for years.

I've lived here my whole life and have really seen a dramatic change in this amazing city. 

Having a healthy fear going into any deal can keep your sense sharp to avoid potential pitfalls. 

It was kind of a bad spot in my life at the time.

In theory they've tried all they can and are stuck on stupid feeling there life is about to be burnt to the ground.
