In any case I was well on my way to financial freedom in 2005 right before the market crashed.

@Byron Scott Congratulations and thank you for sharing the start of your path to financial freedom with us.

But the freedom we gained by being able to afford to buy a house and have savings outweighed living in great weather year round and being close to our friends and family.

I have ordered The House Hacking Strategy: How to Use Your Home to Achieve Financial Freedom (Financial Freedom, 3)Curelop, CraigThe Book on Tax Strategies for the Savvy Real Estate Investor: Powerful techniques anyone can use to deduct more, invest smarter, and pay far less to the IRS!

Lastly I truly hope that all my clients also have extremely successful investments this year so they continue to build their financial freedom & use me over and over again...

Plus, financial freedom (my ultimate goal) is worth having to a share a bathroom!

We loved the freedom that this brought.It was pre COVID so we dealt with some ups and downs but it has been amazing.

I want to live that freedom!

You can do two personal deals per year for free (no split) and there is a reasonable fee cap where you keep 100% above that number and have freedom to do what you want.  

Adverse possession is not something that is granted immediately, it takes many years of you yourself occupying the property for you to gain any rights to that property.You remind me of an acquaintance of mine, he believed in personal liberties and that it was unlawful for the government to mandate he obtain a drivers license in order to drive since regulating the act of driving violated his 'freedom of travel'.
