Recently, I started researching real estate investing because I know it's a fulfilling way to increase cash flow and reach financial freedom.

Was it the access to MLS data and freedom to go see houses whenever you wanted or was it learning about the market while acting as a real estate agent?

My ultimate goal is to gain full financial freedom through real estate.

I went through about 150 of the Freedom Real Estate Investing podcasts, which I think is where I heard about Bigger Pockets.  

We are using Investmark Mortgage at the moment and were using Secured Freedom Lending before that. 

I am excited to begin making my own real estate investments, I'm mostly interested in owning rental properties in hopes to give my family financial freedom and be able to spend more time with my daughters and wife. 

You are one unexpected expense away from being in a bad way.Based upon your mention that your income is inconsistent, your need for cash reserves is very important in my opinion.We are all anxious to get that first house to get started in making money but let's remember that this is about building wealth and achieving financial freedom.  

I found BP by accident when I followed the rabbit of financial freedom down the rabbit hole.

The fiancé and I plan on a house hack to begin our journey to financial freedom when we move back to the states.

Bad credit, job instability, can't save up the money for the down payment, don't want to deal with maintenance, freedom to move whenever they want...
