Long term goal is to have enough rental properties, single and multi family, to have enough passive income to be my own boss and financially free!

I am newbie here who has heard real estate is a great way to build long term wealth.I would like to get started but with a bad credit  history I find it extremely diffcult.Still the financial longevity well not only be statisfying but the peace as of mind will put me at ease.

Are you tired of the 9-5 grind and not achieving your full financial potential?

I also look at straight ROI - as this includes debt servicing whereas the Cap Rate does not.  

Long term goals to make enough for financial freedom.

I know taxes can be very complicated, but could someone please give me the heads up on why it's financially better to invest over the border in North Carolina, than here in South Carolina?

(Property = $100k & Loan = $50k)  So the borrower can simply sell the property to repay any debts.  

Renting out rooms is a great way to help pay the bills in a tough financial situation but I would just make sure you screen the roomates you choose.

There is a great ROI on rentals but I will not jump in without proper financial backing.
