But now as of 2017 looking for ways to passively invest and know for sure multifamily apartment investing is the way to go and the quickest way to financial freedom.

Then again it's the principle that she's using the washer and dryer.I can't lock the basement because she may need access to it in case of an emergency (power jumps, heater doesn't work, etc)Am I overthinking this?

After that I purchased more land and I doubled my profit on that but I will repeat I can get materials almost for free I am searching for a partner that has a goal to live in financial freedom.

More power to you!!

My long-term goal would be to earn passive income through real estate to the point where I could cut back to part time at my job, while still having the financial freedom to travel and enjoy life. 

Health is Wealth and time is the most powerful currency you are trying to get from some pretty exceptional people.

Now I understand the power of real estate and leverage and I want to ask experienced investors such as yourself for some advice.After doing some basic research, we figured out that multi-family properties were the way to go.

The day after we bought it, there was a large storm that came through and the power lines caught on fire.  

Go with a broker that understands that it is your business & gives you the freedom to run it as such.
