If you keep moving forward, you’ll achieve your goals.

It would probably be worthwhile as it seems like you have the funds but not a good grasp of how to best handle them to achieve the greatest benefit.

As a current college student, this knowledge is key to making the appropriate decisions once I graduate to achieve my goals.For some background information on myself, I am currently 20 years old and plan to graduate in 2 years with 2 engineering degrees.

So you want to do the calc you have, but then in a separate tab you would have it use that cashflow to say 'if it's less than $100, then reduce the LTV to X to achieve a $150 cashflow'.

As such, I see real estate as the way to achieve this.

This seems achievable in Iowa but let me know if that's unrealistic.The one issue I've had so far is with financing.

I'm 38 and my goal is to achieve financial freedom and only invest in/manage properties by 50.

If you are buying something built in the 80s, a late 70s through mid 90s built property will be achieving comparable rents. 

My goal is to connect with others to build my network and in turn help others achieve their goals.

So hypothetically you could get another 4-5 property giving 10.9% returns instead of the 6.5% you would get from one property.Other options(Option 3) of course:Invest into other passive investments that are achieving a great return.
