Your numbers, not someone else's.2 - The market or markets you will be investing in (this changes with time)3 - The strategies (not strategy) you will using in each of the different markets you will be investing in.financial freedom is achieved when you have enough double tax free Muni bonds in your portfolio that generate enough return to live the lifestyle you desire.. thats true financial freedom  rentals while nice are still work and still have a fair amount of risk depending on where you purchase.. 

That will include assisting with getting the property prepared to go to market, arranging photography, marketing the property, holding open houses and showings, then of course overseeing the lengthy disclosure/escrow/closing process.

This is the best explanation of the complex US Treasury market I've ever read.Even in a worse case scenario where inflation and banking volatility accelerate, the greater likelihood than a spike in mortgage rates would be some type of FED intervention and return to some form of quantitive easing through bond purchases or debt swaps. 

Quote from @Noah P Bonds: I think this speaks to a greater need to educate renters on the reality of how their rent is set.

Hello @Suneet Dewan,To keep this post at a (somewhat) reasonable length, I will be brief on each topic.

Obviously they bonded him out. 

You can paint vinyl, just use a good bonding primer.

We buy the shares of the IBC (we are the first owners after the original landowner who subdivided the land) and we will sell the shares of the IBC if/when we sell the property at some point in the future.Also, if someone were to say, slip and fall on our property, in Belize (because it is a British style system) the plaintiff would have to post a 25K bond. 

If you have other collateral, like A grade or better bonds, that would be better to leverage such deals.
