My goal is to build a substantial amount of passive income over the next 8 years in order to gain financial freedom. 

My employer offers a 403b with no match and I'm not sure I should take use it if that's my goal two years from now, or if there is a better way to shelter my savings for the purpose of investing in real estate in approximately 2 years.

I've been the breadwinner for my family (it's just my wife and I) and she is stepping up saying she'll be getting a job to support my real estate goals!

I agree with you and have found another property that is not a slam dunk but we think it fits our goals and needs and hopefully all works out in the end.  

Good day BPI recently purchased a 4 unit property in SE Wisconsin ( Kenosha ) prior to closing I asked the previous owner to provide the lease agreements and I tried to get them to submit an estoppel agreement but they wouldn't because it wasn't a "legal" document.  

We have the goal to focus on flipping single family homes until we build enough cash to buy large building with 4+ units. 

We were targeting a cash on cash return > 11% so these new terms do not meet our goals.  

But we all have different goals.  

I'm interested in purchasing multi-family buildings as well as hard money lending and possibly doing some private 1st mortgage residential loans..My goal is to buy one multi-family building a year.
