I would also look into Freedom Storage Management and Red Dot Storage for 3rd Party Management.

My vision statement: "To achieve financial freedom and flexibility by creating a diversified real estate portfolio that provides passive income streams and enables me to pursue my personal and professional goals, while providing the best possible education and lifestyle for my family."

After sitting down with my wife we found out that our freedom number is about 6500 a month.

So 1 year of sacrifice bought me likely a lifetime of financial freedom.

Hi BP Fam,I've been listening a lot to Michael Blank's podcast, and have read his book "Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing".  

We are in the grind to start saving and begin real estate investing on path for financial freedom.

Then the only option is to sell : you will own nothing and be happy.Laugh all you want , but this is slow and deliberate plan but in place by those who hate that we have this much freedom and choices/options to make money .Just answer me this.

We both quit our corporate jobs, have freedom of time now, manage the rentals (easy pace), and do the rehab work we want up ourselves  when we have turnover… we will paint units, can install lights, replace outlets, etc.  

It's a difference in philosophy.I think that property owners should have the freedom to do as they wish with their own property. 

Similar to what a couple other people have said my goal is also to obtain buy and holds and try my hand at flipping to reach financial freedom!
