Quote from @Doug Webb:Hi I currently stay at project freedom housing support which has 4 units & about 14 tenants to a unit.

It's like trying to keep 13-year old brothers & sisters from fighting as they try to assert & explore their individuality & freedoms.

I’ve recently started exploring real estate investing as a path to financial freedom and am interested in the South Florida market.

The idea being if mom needs to sell her junky house to a cash buyer in order pay for the care facility plus doesn't have to deal with repairs then hopefully your senior health care network contacts will remember you when they run across this which is supposedly often. 

This was due to desirability, affordability, limited supply due to geography and laws protecting open space coupled with very high demand due to net in-migration of high-earners/wealthy people, and perhaps most importantly a diverse job market in recession-proof sectors like education, government, defense, healthcare, etc. not just tech, energy or manufacturing that can be boom/bust. 

There is peace of mind and freedom that comes from paying off your mortgage.

I'm kind of in your boat -- willing to jump in the deep end and do the work in order to earn financial freedom.

I am 25 years old, since I was 9 my dad made me read the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and 1 year an a half ago I was transferred to USA from work, in that book he talks about financial freedom and real state, so  I recently bought the book how to invest in real estate, by Joshua and Brando (I am still on page 120) however with each page my interest increased, which lead me to this forum. 

I am on the hunt for more units right now so I hope we both are able to find a deal so we can’t continue down that road to financial freedom!!

Their broker also has to give the freedom to do some unconventional things.
