Hi I’m new to BiggerPockets for the last two years I’ve been very interested in owning property. after doing some research and stumbling onto BiggerPockets I have gathered a little more information. Starting is usuall...

Props to you though for not trying to get the cheapest markets possible and "highest rents" because that's a disaster. 

If I were in your shoes, I would probably look to house hack, as that is the cheapest and easiest way to make two quick steps towards financial freedom. 

Despite what you might have heard about how different lending standards are now after the 2008 disaster-I have come to learn that not much has changed. 

As for what type of properties you want to look for.. cashflow is King, especially given your financial situation.I honestly wouldn't look into investing long distance with your minimal income and minimal cash in hand.

Ignoring personal time involved, strictly financially, you're wrong about efficiency.

I currently have two cash flowing properties in Charlotte and I am currently looking for a third property.Like many of you my goal is financial freedom but it has been a slow process since I still work full time.I am looking to do a refi on one property so that I can purchase the third property.

I graduated with an architecture degree two years ago and thought that all I needed to do to become financially free was to get the best job possible that payed me well... dead wrong.
