The down side is your are dealing with 18-21 year olds that are getting their first taste of freedom.

Really, I'd like the house to be an airbnb, so that: we don't have a full time neighbor that close, I can have a project (I enjoy decorating, cleaning and meeting new people), and so that I can have the freedom to use it as a guest house for friends and family visiting.  

I have always been interested in real estate and have generally understood its opportunities for building wealth, but I have only recently caught the "real estate bug" and become focused and COMMITTED to investing in my financial freedom and education via real estate investment. 

The freedom and flexibility alone are worth it. 

That’s why they created a LOMA process, to remove buildings off the map, eliminate the lender mandate, and gain freedom of choice on flood insurance. 

I'm looking to get into Real Estate as it really seems to be the better option to genuinely achieve financial freedom, I'm not looking to become rich, I'd just want to be able to retire from the 9 to 5 and be able to focus on other activities that are fulfilling for me. 

My reason to invest in real estate is financial freedom, which would allow me to do whatever I desire! 

She works from home in Pittsburg and Cleveland, renting in both cities.Some people with decent score and plenty of income just not ready to settle down so they pay for their freedom to move if better opportunity will surface.My property definitely not in A-B area: Rent is $900, purchase price $30K......so it’s real cash flow market. 

I also want to ensure, to some extent, that I have the freedom I am used to.

You would think when you give freedom like that the job would come in quicker and reasonably priced to foster future jobs, but they never do in my experience either.
