Tmobile has a mobile internet plan or you can get a 4g/5g router with a cheap pay as you go cellphone plan.

I know a lot of people who say they want freedom, but in reality they want wealth...For example, you can achieve freedom by purchasing a very cheap property, paying it off quickly, moving in, and then building enough cash flow to pay for the basics -- food, clothes, used car, insurance, etc.That would give you freedom from having to work for someone else...The problem is, most people want more than that -- they want a nice house, a couple cars, good food, vacations, toys/gadgets, etc.

Make a list of all properties in your target purchase price range (based upon the above filters)- Determine current indebtness/equity position (by way of a title search) to determine estimated ROI for every property in your list (could be time consuming and/or expensive)- Inquire about those that meet the above standards.It's sad but true, paying cheap money for a broad list (that you have to pan to find the gold) always costs more then paying a little more for targeted list.Regards,Scott Miller
