I can stash cash, while assuming a good life, and buy another 300k property with stone cold cash in 3 years.

A stones throw from beautiful coastline and redwood groves.  

It is a 3 flat grey stone rehab with excellent cash flow potential.

I would recommend starting with a house-hack, IMO it's the stepping stone to real estate.

Tenants who move into SFH generally stay longer and have fewer turns.Multi-family also suffers from common use costs, trash, lighting, security cameras, landscape.To automatically discount SFH as simply a stepping stone is short-sided.  

I'll definitely talk to a SEC attorney when it's set in stone.

Just keep learning about real estate and you will find a way to make your current "roadblock" into a "stepping stone".

So now I want to work part time as an agent and hopefully get a good enough commissions to quit my job and do it full-time.Then once I hit that mile stone, I plan on getting another good enough commission to purchase my first property and rent it out.
