I live in Redmond, Oregon and I am in pursuit of forming passive sources of income with the eventual goal of financial freedom.

One question I do have is how can we purchase more rentals while paying off the first one because one duplex alone will not help us achieve financial freedom.

We are building another hospital which is expected to open sometime next year, and another one of our hospitals went through a major expansion,so there are definitely more jobs being created in health care.

My long-term real estate goals are to own 100+ properties around the world and create enough passive income to obtain financial freedom and build a business  that provides jobs, value and opportunities for my community.

Everyone says that they want financial freedom, but I honestly think we will be working for ourselves in the next few years and not someone else. 

My end goal is financial freedom by 30 but if I can accelerate that, I'm going to do whatever I can.

@Joe Hughis no problem at all I joined the Navy to serve my country and earn my nations freedoms, it was my pleasure.

Hi @Jim Schock, You should check out @Obi Dorsey's meetup with Freedom REI as well.

You can start with a regular SDIRA with a custodian handling payments and then once you are comfortable that you are well versed in the rules, you can even do a checkbook IRA and have the freedom of investing and writing your own checks from your IRA in connection with ownership and operation of the property. 

Following my graduation, I accepted a job at a healthcare consulting and valuation firm in Philadelphia, whereby I performed various analyses within the healthcare sector.
