There's nothing wrong with buying and holding stocks and you obviously could accumulate a great deal of money doing so if you start early in life.

In 2015, the county was auctioning liens for overdue 2007 and 2008 county and city taxes, so all the available properties had at least 7 years of accumulated taxes.I had so many questions before the auction. 

The interest is accumulated when borrowing money from the lender.

If you are pulling a HELOC or taking family money, leveraging credit cards, using personal savings it took you years to accumulate, whatever the source of money is - unless the source is endless - start small. 

As for the accumulating capital and saving large sums of money -- this is the million dollar question.

You may position yourself for success and provide a solid basis for accumulating money over the long run by adopting a strategic strategy.Good luck!

Your investing selections will be influenced by the short- and long-term goals you have set for yourself, such as passive income, wealth accumulation, or financial independence.

@Dequan AllenA beneficial tactic for those trying to accumulate riches and become financially independent is house hacking.

I understand that there will be impact to the compounding of the TSP funds that I pull out for the loan, but I am speculating if I can buy the right real estate deal, it may offset that impact and get me on the path to accumulating more real estate via BRRRR that will more than compensate in the long term.This would be a general loan from my TSP to fund the down payment for the bigger loan to buy the property .Has anybody had either good or bad experience with this?

Real estate rental investing is what I want to do, I don't want to have to work a job I don't enjoy for years just to accumulate some savings.
