@Andy OkamotoOne cautionary note: if your idea of "cash flow" is $10K in net operating income, $120K before taxes in your pocket every year off your rental property, well, if it happens to you in 10 years, it will be a low-probability event with a lot of lucky breaks and eventually will likely ruin your life when you make a misstep because you assumed your lucky break was the norm.If you're serious about moving out here, at least look at the Pittsburgh area and its proximity to Carnegie Mellon (tech) and UPMC (health care).

No one has ever waited their way to financial freedom, that only comes through taking action and feeling uncomfortable. 

I am very passionate about time and financial freedom so that I can be the husband and father that my wife and children deserve.I will admit, the idea of actually starting is pretty frightening, but the thought of never starting due to the fear of failure is even worse.

For investors, this means more opportunities in the tourism and hospitality sectors, as the demand for unique, authentic experiences continues to grow.Healthcare and Cultural AttractionsLet’s not forget about healthcare—another pillar of the local economy.

Here to meet others, network and learn about real estate investing and gaining that financial freedom.

A little background, I have no experience in real estate other than knowing I wanted financial freedom and I knew this is what I wanted to do.

We run a PM company in town, Freedom Ventures PM, that helps owners like you. 

If I were to do it right now, I would still try to house hack but would definitely look into staying in the studio if the rent is chheap and it would allow me the freedom to buy more investment properties. 

In short, to achieve and maintain financial freedom.

My ultimate goal is to develop land once I have enough passive income and financial freedom.
