@Marcus AuerbachI saw another guru pitch on Facebook today where they did courses on Airbnb/STR and commercial in the past and now are on tax liens - their entire pitch is selling “a lifestyle”Anyone that sells a lifestyle should be avoided at all costs.

Financial freedom requires maintaining your current lifestyle for the rest of your life.

Also consider what YOU want to do with it and what works with your lifestyle and your end goal. 

Namely how much you need to fund the lifestyle you want. and then move into new investments very slowly.

I know that can be a trap for many now, because, to put the shame of their impoverished pasts behind them, they take on oversized mortgages and car payments and loads of lifestyle expenses that keep them living paycheck to paycheck forever.What have you had to unlearn along the way to achieving your own goals?

American corporation lifestyle is already very relaxed compared to the world standard.The bigger issue that I see is that the pie for residential real estate, is not that big enough, except if you want to work for big developer.

It's perfect lifestyle for me.

Your day job can keep providing your income for your lifestyle.

(I know what most people are thinking, not the most ideal degree to hold when getting into this business, but alas here we are haha) I am eagerly trying to break free from the whole "living paycheck to paycheck working for the man" type of lifestyle.

Assuming an average 8% CoC return and factoring in none of the backend, if I invested a total of $5MM into several syndications (assuming some of the windfall went to taxes), we would yield $400,000 annually.Depending on your current and future desired lifestyle you could continue to live modestly, and reinvest a large portion of the dividends earned.
