I am super excited to hop onto the House Hacking train and reach financial freedom before I am 30!

Now that's what we call financial freedom.

My goal is to have financial freedom but I'm still trying to narrow down the best way to get there.

However Zelle gives you  more freedom with being able to send money to anyone that you have a phone number or email for.   

VR is used to describe a full immersing virtual reality experience including six degrees of freedom and also to describe a 360 picture in a headset as well.However they are two different experiences and should be approached as two separate options, depending on what you do and what you would like to achieve.For example if you would like to share a existing property you might want to go with a 360 Tour either with a headset or online however if you are trying to sell a new development you might consider the option a full immersing experience similar to a real walkthrough.

My wife is on board with getting in to rental properties, more as a step toward financial freedom/additional stream of income. 

My main goal right now is to achieve early financial freedom.

All this said, I also want to point out that I think that this is a very conservative model, and I'd hope that you are able to achieve financial freedom 3-5 years sooner at your projected level of spend :)

I wish to achieve a thriving business of my own that will provide freedom from a day job.  

I like #3 the best because it allows me so much more freedom.
