I am new here to the BiggerPockets family and wanted to ask for advice, I recently graduated community college as an automotive technician and want to take the right steps to financial freedom, i have no major bills just the basic credit cards and phone bills, still at home with my parents, and close to being 22.

However, if you are looking to rapidly accelerate towards financial freedom and invest in real estate, you may find yourself with a hard problem -- you will simply need to accumulate more capital (likely after-tax, but a minority of investors do use retirement accounts to buy property) at a faster rate. 

We want to be able to provide for our families and gain a little financial freedom so we can change our lives. 

Buying a duplex is just step one in my plan to reach financial freedom through passive real estate investments.

@Sarkis Azatyan Welcome to the world of financial freedom!!

The financial freedom is the goal, keep the long view!

The whole reason we start a business is for freedom, right, because after all, time is more valuable than money.

I pushed for my education because I wanted "freedom" to work whatever job I wanted in the realm of education.

I always knew this would also help me get to My goal of financial freedom.

I kind of have an idea and a plan on how to achieve financial freedom but I need to know a lot more about the ins and outs before making what I’d consider the best decision I can for my situation.
