In short, to achieve financial freedom.

I got into Real estate to achieve financial freedom and support/start my family!

Hi All,I've been a member of bigger pockets for awhile. Have never gone through all of the intro steps recommended (finally doing so). Have made some real estate investments over time. Made quite a few a few years ago...

Is there a realistic path to financial freedom (not a billionaire) before I'm 40? 

I am deeply interested in real estate to bring financial freedom plus generational wealth.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that I’ll gladly trade off a slower start for more freedom and profitability down the line.

I recently came across someone on Instagram who was promoting his business/strategies for people to pursue to achieve financial freedom as quickly and best as possible.

I have also read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and "The Book on Rental Property Investing", both are tremendous for wrapping your head around the possibilities to achieve financial freedom and how exceptional real estate is as one of those vessels.

My goals in the next few years would be to achieve financial freedom and I know that is possible with the house.

This and equity capture at the buy will have a larger impact on your future freedom than some cash-flow. 2 examples with low down payment-  Large house that has a net 'cash-flow' of -$2400/yr consistently,  but principal pay down is $6000/yr.Cash-flow pundits would say sell, but my 'savings rate' is 150%.
