Ideally, I would like to start flipping houses once my wife is finished with school, for more financial stability in case my first deal is a flop.

Hi all,I recently decided to start my journey towards a more stable financial future and after reading some books and looking in to real state i stumbled upon BiggerPockets podcast.  

Were the late payments far enough in the past that they indicated a temporary problem that is now resolved, or are they recent and indicate a deteriorating financial condition?

There may be some truth to that, but people who are consistently plunking down $100K in cash didn't get that money by being financially illiterate.

You can be financially independent by the time you're 30 if you save and invest wisely in real estate.

I'm looking to change my life towards financial freedom and get away from the 9-5 mentality.

Please keep me updated on how you push forward with your path toward financial success. 

While the title search should uncover any liens associated with the property, you also want the protection that the actual title insurance policy gives you in case something is missed.

I'm independent, no debt, no student loans, very low tuition (with financial aid grants), rent of $500 per month, credit score above 750 and a small chunk of change saved up in the amount of $15,000. 

Looking to increase my knowledge in real estate to for both personal and financial gain.
