Finding a property that will help us reach our financial freedom goal is not so easy.

I like land and the potential yields, especially being a contractor/builder it comes easy.

They are fairly easy to intimidate into good behavior.

Great 4/2 in an easy to rent area.

Obviously cash on cash return is decently easy to calculate but I find the equity return to be harder to calculate.

Since we plan to maintain our jobs for at least another 5 years we knew it was important to buy "easy" properties.

I would bet if you drove to those buildings during the day by yourself, you would not get out of the car.Great cash flow is super easy to find in those areas.

Sometimes they just don't understand much about investors and the easy answer is just to reject what they don't understand and say no to the idea.You also wouldn't be "inactive" if you are buying properties and representing yourself and listing properties that you want to sell.

Figured, since it was so easy for them to get money, maybe it would be easy for us too.

I have found several vacant homes just by traveling different parts of town myself and yes it was not as easy as people think.
