You can fix the place up as you live there and you are setting yourself up for owning a nice cash flowing asset that will be the foundation of your financial freedom.  

My ultimate goal is to obtain financial freedom within the next 10 yrs by investing in small multi-family properties (and single family residence’s when the deal and the numbers make sense) and trading up to larger properties as I gain more experience and capital.

My overarching goal is to gain financial freedom through rental properties but that's many years in the making.

But this is the sacrifice now to live a life of financial freedom in the future.

However if you are patient and financially prepared for the recession - financial freedom can be achieved faster.

I am 26 years old looking to make real money and put me and my family in financial freedom.

We have a 5 year goal to have a life that gives us more financial freedoms--to be able to experience more with our family of 7.

@Ryan DetigMy goal is financial freedom in the form of passive income that exceeds my monthly expenses.There are investments that pay better than 10% in the Houston market if you hustle and look long enough.  

I'll never forget the moment I opened my eyes and realized how crucial real estate was in order to obtain financial freedom and wealth.

My names Jesse and I'm a licensed insurance salesman who's main long term goal is to buy and hold properties, working towards earning my financial freedom.
