My end goal is to have financial freedom in 10 years or less by bringing in $10k/month.

Emphasize how this arrangement could work to their benefit, offering steady income, avoiding a traditional sale process, and giving them the freedom to move forward with their plans such as buying that sailboat and sailing around the world.If they ultimately decide they’re not interested in selling, you’re still in a great position to continue your search and buy your own property in the near future.

I am definitely juggling a lot, laying the foundation to eventual financial freedom is fighting tooth and nail for every inch.

More freedom to tailor your investment to the guests' needs.More privacy for the guestsSecurity and keys can automatedMore rooms for more quality pictures!

And now you're still young enough to really enjoy that kind of freedom. 

If your goal is financial freedom sooner, scaling may make more sense.

I am so grateful for the freedoms our vets fight for. 

Thank you @Dave Foster I look forward to my new venture and investing in real estate hoping to achieve financial freedom and enjoy my life with my kids and my beautiful wife that has a terrible debilitating autoimmune disease.

Absolutely, it's clear you've put thought into your real estate journey, and your aspirations for financial freedom are commendable!

That truly determines the successful from the unsuccessful, making it happen despite all the odds against you.I have a similar story of finding real estate and achieving financial freedom over the course of 4 years, going from 0 to over 300 doors.
