Really expedites the time it takes to reach FI when you can completely eliminate your housing payment and get into multis for such little down and start building equity/cash flow with each one.

I think having a rental within driving distance, where you can afford it, in a market that will grow long term....this is the starting place.Whatever you buy today you'll be glad to have in 5 years or 10 years.Start where you can and grow from there.

Melisa Justice, and she helped me navigate the entire Journey, it was a process not too long, it took about a month, and the process would have been definitely very hard being that I was on a different state by Melissa made it a lot smother, she was very responsive to all my questions (and I had a lot of questions), she helped me find a lender that would fit better for my financial situation, once I was pre-approved she connected me with the right property inspectors, and all through out the process she kept in touch pointing me the right direction all the way until closing day, all this to say I Definitely recommend her for any body the is finally ready to take the plunge and get started with their real estate carrier, I definitely will get in touch with her when I'm ready to buy my next property!
