This book is a great start if you'd like to get into the buy & hold market, he basically talks about every step needed to obtain financial freedom with buy & hold properties. 

I am eagered to explore the field of Real Estate as an investor for Financial Freedom and Independence.Oh and I am located in the DC, MD and VA aka DMV!

I am interested in purchasing buy-and-hold rental properties on the westside (student rentals) as a vehicle for financial freedom down the line.

I would like to build financial freedom for myself and my family and have been dreaming of building an investment real estate portfolio for years now. 

If a person house hacked a duplex or any multifamily home to start their journey, but have a goal of owning SFH rental properties to freedom and they no longer wanted to house hack.

It's not true financial freedom but it gets you ready for it.

This is a crucial step that is misunderstood and prevents so many from ever reaching financial freedom.

We have a strong plan for how we are trying to move forward with achieving financial freedom but if this is true I'm wondering how others make the BRRRR strategy work or ever move onto house #2 if they can't afford to house hack a primary?

Generating wealth takes time, and planning the right steps to achieve this 'freedom.'

I quickly saw that path led to a long miserable 30-40 year career with little freedom and flexibility to find time to enjoy life and family.
