So a house could have been standing vacant for MANY years before it ever goes to the sale and just might be so bad that it's not economically feasible to fix it. 

My goal with rentals long term is to build enough of a portfolio up to be able to replace my income from my job and just have the financial freedom to be able to travel/be worry free.

You stand a better chance of getting off.

I would like to do this until I have financial freedom and a few thousand dollars a month in net profit from the rentals.

He is generating $150 extra after mortgage, bills, and saved costs for repairs.As we move into the direction of life and family future, we are looking at ways to create more financial freedom.

I have recently moved to the greater Sacramento area (Roseville) with my family and we are looking to start a path to financial freedom.

I am wondering how to go about the period of time from the renovation period to having the units rented from a financial standpoint.Thanks!

I have some experience in Real Estate, but I'm eager to learn more and build my path to financial freedom.

Thank you for any suggestions on helping us to attain our financial freedom!

Admittedly, most of it would be on the lending or financial side,  but perhaps there is overlap or other information worth connecting on since it's definitely within our scope.Feel free to reach out directly.
