-Currently focused on  acquiring property and building equity in homes (next 1-5 years) with larger cashflow as a long-term goal (years 5-10).Thanks again to everyone for creating a great community-Kent

I think it makes sense to go ahead and build relationships with local banks since they can be important partners in achieving your goals.

My goal is to make my first purchase in about 90 days.

Therefore, the goals I have for using my license are to fill in that downtime by acting as a broker.

I am 22 years old and just started working full time but my long term goal is to be financially free.For the short term I will continue to listen and read more books.

Plus the entity structure you choose will tailor to your goals and strategies. 

But if it's still possible, staying with a smaller mortgage payment while sinking the difference and any extra into student loans would probably accelerate your goals.

My goal is to convert it and live there while renting the other unit.

My goal is to have at least 10 properties within the next 4 and 1/2 years.

I am aiming for a 2 month timeline, for my first flip and working a FT job that might be a bit ambitious, but that's what goals are for.
