You’re probably thinking, I don’t know this person so why should I get involved… just remember that we’d both be in the same boat, we both have to trust and respect one another, but read to the end, and learn more about me.I was born and raised in San Jose, California by my beautiful, wickedly smart and fiercely independent single mother.

Your investing selections will be influenced by the short- and long-term goals you have set for yourself, such as passive income, wealth accumulation, or financial independence.

Most financially independent, wealthy people get there through hard work, sacrifice, and time.Spend 2-3 months learning how to analyze properties, cut expenses, increase income, and save up as though your life depended on it.

I want to build financial independence through real estate investing.

Work with an independent agent that can talk through your options, shop the market, and let them quote your auto insurance as a bundle along with the property.

You need a Independent Agent with enough markets to have a good one for the mixed use properties.  

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

Each home has to be viewed independently as each has unique characteristics.

@Dequan AllenA beneficial tactic for those trying to accumulate riches and become financially independent is house hacking.

You are way way ahead of 99% of the population, and well on your way to setting yourself up nicely for financial security/independence.
