There are different combinations of how you get to financial freedom, and what that means to you.

Far from it.It was a combination of borrowers using their homes for ATM's, Wall St. hedge fund managers who created mortgage  backed security products and the greed of the lenders who needed to "feed the beast."

Combine that with not paying taxes on the growth, and it makes a huge difference down the road.

I own a SFR in a 30 property HOA in South Carolina that has combined revenue of <$8000 per year in dues. 

Rarely will you buy an older house without termite damage.
