And if that $2080 is being used as down payments and leveraged to buy real estate, that means I have just gained an extra 10,400 - 20800 worth of real estate ..I see this as a simple example of an actionable step to help people towards financial freedom.I am currently applying this in my own path to financial freedom.Would love to hear other peoples perspective and opinions on thisWhat are your thoughts and methods to achieve financial freedom?

Current situation I recently moved back home with my mom to increase my income and pursue my education full time ...

@Step Stheph - Great job asking the question.

Did you end up pursuing this, Jacob?

If it is I would definitely pursue it.3.  

What should be my first step besides research and analysis?

Just some advice besides the goal of getting a property by the end of the year come up with a plan of steps you would need to do to get there and when you want to execute them by.Good luck!

Just signed up and need some 1st steps?

My name is Jonita Ovalles-Pecjo (hyphenated with my biological father's name who died a few weeks before I was born and my step-dad that raised me until I was 15), but most know me simply as Jae.

I have several questions regarding my next steps,  if everyone will bear with me.1) I know how to search the tax records and find some info,  but are there other ways of gathering more contact info?
