I really want to achieve financial cial freedom from real estate by developing passive income.

My friend and client wrote a great blog post about his first real estate purchase and what he's looking to achieve through real estate investing and I wanted to share it here as an encouragement to the newbies and first timers out there. 

I don’t believe I’m in a market that will allow me to do that and move as fast as I would like and mainly help me achieve walking away from my 9-5 job.

My crowning achievement was to take my 50 hour/wk job and automate all of it down to about 2 hours of pulling some data sets and then running macros with formulas so I could pass it on and take a promotion in the operations side of the business.

@John MorganIn DFW 1% rule can be difficult to achieve, but with price appreciation, cash out refi can achieve similar IRR in long term.

There is death, divorce, employment and other life factors which drive when someone buys and sells plus how big of a discount one might achieve.

But they are insisting on repair costs being held in escrow, which my lender contact said could be achieved with a reno loan.

I've heard Brandon and David talk about 12% Roi when renting but does that same number need to be achieved when brrrring? 

And the rehab cost must be the cost associated with the renovation to achieve the specific ARV your determined. 

I want to be able grow and achieve more based on my skills, strengths, and work ethic.
