Buy it right and you'll be off to the races.

Hi everyone,Hitting the reset button in life, looking to build up a portfolio of investment properties for me and my beautiful bride so we can eventually have enough passive income to retire.Have a bit of our own capi...

While being stuck deeper and deeper to the rat race, my current goal is to generate enough passive income from buy and hold properties to replace my W2 job.

Well I take my hat off to you - getting back up on the horse.

I am going to become a real estate investor to gain financial freedom and leave the rat race.

Instead focus on One Rental/Deal at a time, try and make the next deal better than the last and do what ever you can to lower your monthly expenses because you can not get out of the rat race until your passive income exceeds your fixed monthly expenses.Be the Turtle not the RabbitGood Investing - What advice do others have?

While you can ride that horse, it doesn't carry you far.

My husband and I are new to real estate investing but know that it’s the path that we would like to navigate together as we strive for financial freedom, escaping the rat-race, and growing into entrepreneurs.

I was off to the races to fund all three, a week later I had the money but he only had two properties left.
