Hi everyone,Long-time lurker here, like many people Rich Dad Poor Dad got me hooked on RE over 15 years ago.Unfortunately, I never put my plans into action.

@Rich NationI think it depends entirely on the individual.

This is where willpower comes in and get worse going from Financial independence to Financial Freedom because you COULD quit if you wanted to… (since then I have also found https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2013/02/22/getting-rich-from-zero-to-hero-in-one-blog-post/which seems to be along the same lines, but your mileage may vary)When you start having a net worth, you’ll need to start making money from investments as it’s impossible to retire from a salary alone.

I read "rich dad poor dad" 4 years ago and really got excited about real estate, just have not done a deal yet.

It is a book that I discovered from Rich Dad Poor Dad that goes over these types of situations.

I actually won't look further than 4 miles from my house as MPLS is such a rental rich area with a lot of opportunity. 

I like boxing, watching sports (go 49ers and Warriors), and DoorDashing on the side.I started my financial freedom journey by reading Rich Dad Poor Dad.

At the end of the day, no one is getting rich off it, but it helps at least some dollars not lose too much to inflation (and arguably potentially slightly beating inflation). 

I've recently read Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and The Book on Rental Property Investing (In progress.

Having a mindset of this 80% vs 20% (rich) realtors is not a good approach - most of the top producers have worked hard, established themselves in the community & followed up with good systems to maintain relationships with clientele.
