A buy and hold, cash flow deal is probably the best fit for me, but I'm open to other suggestions and opportunities as well. 

Our goal is for this first Property to be a stepping Stone into the world of REI, buying more Properties and building Cashflow.  

It's important to always keep yourself educated in this business, good luck with your investment goals!

I've just modified it to fit what I'm thinking.

The end goal is to minimize reliance on "traditional" working hours, while building equity in long-term properties.

I have finally let my family know of my intentions and their initial reaction was to put me down and say that my goal was unrealistic for someone as young as I am and that rental properties are so much work that I will not be able to handle it.

I find people do best with what they are passionate about and what they know or want to learn.Focus on your financial goals and your portfolio.  

Is that person the right fit for the role? 

Did something change from your initial analysis that it doesn't fit your criteria anymore?

One thing lead to another we start to study, look for opportunity to invest in real estate and so here I am.Our goal is to buy and hold in the long run.Right now our focus is in wholesale, flipping and learn more about the industry.
