You will see the financial benefits. 

Although I now consider myself a recovering consumer and have been financially sober for a couple of years now and have been completely rehabilitated for two months now.

That's why in this live webinar, Brandon Turner (co-host of The BiggerPockets Podcast) is going to help you get your "train" moving by walking you through the necessary steps to buy your first, second, or third rental property - to build your momentum for a life of financial independence!

Seniors with Low Financial Stability Scores are another.

I wouldn't break any speed record to financial independence,  but I'd definitely get there.

Getting myself in a better financial position and then at that point possibly considering getting back into real estate. 

Still, I've shied away from doing this.Either way, make sure you financially account for what low quality tenants will do to your property & numbers.
