It's such a broad question that it's hard to answer.My original intent was financial freedom for my family.

So, it is something to be wary of with the liklihood of choppy financial waters ahead. 4.

Because I did everything wrong, started with basically nothing and STILL achieved financial freedom, I know for a fact that anyone can do what I did. 

@Greg StrunakA good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

While licensed contractors pay payroll taxes, workers comp and a litany of other financial burdens.perspective is everything. 

Prioritize your financial stability.

I negotiated a 6 month deal financial investment with a 20% return.

Prioritize your financial stability.

If your current lender can’t accommodate you, explore STR-focused lenders like Host Financial or Lima One Capital, or consider bridge loans to buy time while you build your rental history.

Sounds like you are in a pretty strong financial position.
