I'm excited to learn information and hopefully become financially free!

Has anyone been in a similar situation and can give me some advice on what action to take next?  

Run a thorough background check, make sure they have the financial ability to pay their rent, and then you can use social media to help you make an informed decision.

I have a passion for helping other people achieve financial freedom so they can fully live their purpose, instead of being limited by resources.  

If you have a well-maintained unit in a decent area, your tenants will want to stay, even if the increase is substantial and it is within market rent.BTW, prior to purchasing, ask the owner for copies of the most recent utility bills, tenant estoppel certificates (signed paper from tenant stating financial terms of the lease) and CLUE report ( A report that lists if any insurance claims have been filed against the property in the last 7 years) to ensure property is insurable.

My husband has been reading a lot about financial "freedom" and one topic that got his eye was Real Estate Investing.  

Just take action based on what is happening today.  

:) Anyways, excited to finally be taking action and look forward to networking with all you fine people! 

@Rae Finneral Welcome.Good to read and listen but it's important to set a timeline for ACTION.

I just got financial information and since Jan 2016 the income is up and down several times.
