I am still trying to figure out the strategy that I will take to reach the financial freedom that I'd like.

I work full-time in another profession and think about what it would be like to have financial freedom and the ability to quit one day if I wanted to. 

BUT DON'T - get too active as an agent - it is too easy to become brain washed in that part of the business - there is so much more money and freedom as an investor - and to understand the culture of real estate agents - I've always suggested that if agents are so smart - why are they agents and not investors?

Hello BP Family, I would like to first thank God, my wife second and the BP family third for helping me on my journey to financial freedom.

That being said my idea of financial freedom will be far different then someone who is married with 3 kids and live in Salt Lake City.

The 15 yr loan looks ok but if I continue on that route, I will need twice as many properties to hit my freedom number.

I've considered consulting, but I'm not sure how banks would like a variable income if I apply for loans.I'm not sure, but I think the best option in this case is to find a company that will let me work remotely so that I can have the freedom to live/invest anywhere, while still having a fixed income (plus self-employment taxes can be quite hefty).What are your opinions on the matter?

I'd like to get into the buy and hold game with fixer upper multi-family rental properties and attain financial freedom early on(Age 35 is my goal).

I work two jobs right now, to help support my family, but want to really get going in the real estate investing industry, so I can have the freedom and wealth, that my family deserves.
