We knew wholesaling wasn't the path to financial freedom, but it was a start to get us into the business and learn.

Save as you would for anything and factor in buffers.I house hack and that is my determined style to achieving financial freedom among other frugal practices.I have house hacked on all my past purchases and closing next week on my latest purchase with the intent of continuing to house hack.Moving out of current property to my new property, a duplex in Denver, CO.I love house hacking and would highly recommend it.Cheers!

Shawn, I started businesses and I bought one.Problem with a small consulting businesses I started is you have to scale up to make money, but you have the freedom to do what you want to do, take long lunches, etc.

To date, that is the only rental property that we have but we've decided that moving forward we want to start growing our portfolio with the goal of supplementing our income, growing a business and eventually, obtaining financial freedom. 

However, owning rental properties can be the key to a great deal of profit and financial freedom if you do things the right way from the start.

While others try to avoid loans altogether because of the freedom it gives you. 

However, over the past few months, my interest in real estate investing grew as I learned more about the potential for financial freedom via real estate and how I could use this freedom to better support my family and goals.

The people I met on my travels inspired me to get into real estate so I could have the freedom to experience more amazing adventures in the future.For the last 3 months I have been working at a new job in the same industry as before with an even higher salary and in a lead role.

I am just now realizing the type of freedom I can have and that I dont have to teach people solely in a classroom although I'd like to.

A cash-flow of $0 doesn't allow them to get "financial freedom" in terms of replacing their W2 income.
