If I had a penny for every item tenants left behind when they vacated, I'd already have the financial freedom through real estate we're all seeking!

When you achieve a certain level of financial freedom, self managing is a choice.  

Doing some light research it looked like the TK properties I could afford with my current cash and conventional funding would only cash flow a few hundred dollars a month while consuming all my cash and purchasing power.

. - Relatively less competitive than other areas in Florida so you have more negotiation power for listed and off-market deals.The big thing to keep in mind with Pasco is that there are a lot of sinkholes in that county.

Some are relatively relaxed while others enjoy the power trip.

Putting in a Roth takes away your freedom from taking it out without having to pay penalties and your not really saving much if any on the tax side. 

Hi my name is Hannah and I am new to real estate, currently have a 9-5 job, but am looking to start my journey to financial freedom.

My wife and I would love to buy something soon and we will need to secure financing to do that, so I'm working with a family friend to figure out what that would look like and what buying power that would give it.  

WA, central (sunny side) LOLPros- No state income tax, low property taxes (1% ish), cheap power, no floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes or humidity, low crime, good appreciation, good job growth and per capita income. 

I know its not popular with realtors but technology is changing the game and giving the buyer and seller more power when it comes to real estate.
