So we are super busy, but I am ready to get on the road to financial freedom!

I know this appears risky and it is, but due to our financial and other investment situations, we do not want to incur the cost for getting a new mortgage under another name or the LLC.

@Deep PatelPath to financial freedom is found in building a portfolio of cash generating properties.

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

I decided to quit my six figure job to fulfill my real estate investment education and devote time to it, I knew it was the only way for me to learn anything and truly achieve the financial independence I was aspiring for. 

Since I am the principal broker I am not giving away half to some company I am hanging my license with.I am on internal systems for first looks because the brokerages know I screen my buyers upfront and look at financials.

Filipe Pereira one other quick thing to note .... being honest with the seller(and yourself) that the deal does not meet your criteria financially does not necessarily mean that's the end of it.

I want to build my financial knowledge as well as learn the market that I am in like you said. 

the guy with the 5-25K car or the guy with the investment of tens of thousands of dollars, your 'collateral' is not collateral at all if its the trigger that causes the Tenant to lash out towards you through your much more expensive investment.Of course all of these are extremes, my point is that just because you can do something (big if) does not mean you'll come out on top, you may very well still loose in regards to protecting your investment, reputation, cash-flow, profit margin..... get my point.

Financial info about me:I have my own home directly next to a hospital where I work in Baltimore, MD (I work as a Nurse).
