The CPAs I speak to are very concerned about the "double taxation" that would occur within a C Corp of the ROBS (even though I look to keep profits reinvested, through 1031 exchanges when it makes sense) It seems that the Solo 401k would provide me more freedom but I am not clear about the non-recourse loan options in Massachusetts and if this is even a viable option.  

Rental properties generate passive income, which means you are building what will some day, if not already, allow you real financial freedom.

Definitely add financial freedom with Michael Blank.

@Tyler MulcahyThanks for your reply and for pointing out something I should have stated.Goals are to build passive income and build a diverse portfolio of single family / multi unit rentals as a buy and hold strategy We would like to create great cash flow to provide us the freedom to not have a full time career and accomplish this over the next decade We are interested in the BRRRR process rather then the financing option because we had the 2 options I mentioned to work from So far this was our thinking

I want to establish a 1 year 3 year 5 year 10 year plan, and just curious to hear what everyone's goals were/are for financial freedom -- what was that "magic number" you wanted to achieve for monthly cashflow and how many properties did you need to achieve that number? 

Think of the absolute worst case scenario, then double it, then decide if having the likelihood of that happening to you is worth not going after financial freedom. 

I wish we were currently a big enough operation to keep our realtor as busy as she wants to be, but until we are it's only fair that I let others know how big a role she has played in helping us get from stressed out newbies to about halfway to our financial freedom goal.

Would love the freedom renting “allegedly” brings. 

I actually love what I do so I'm not looking to stop working but would like certainly like the freedom that real estate can eventually provide so that I'm not solely reliant on my practice for income.  

Has anyone heard of United Financial Freedom?
