RE investing can be a great way to achieve wealth.

if we achieve a 100% return, I would get $100,000, which is $50k original investment + $50k profit.

To achieve this, I'm looking for one or a few small apartment buildings (5-30 units) that will get me to this short-term target.

I am currently searching for my very first property, which ideally will be a small multiplex that I can both occupy and rent out.I must say that while I am excited to start achieving my REI goals, I am extremely nervous!

I also am looking to achieve not only a career change, but a lifestyle change.

If they were free and clear then that would certainly be achievable

It just seems like it's good honest people looking to help people out so we can all achieve our goals without trying to make a buck off of everybody.

This path has the lowest risk in my mind and achieves all of your goals.

My plan is to buy a property every year until I achieve financial freedom.
