Note: If in the process of waiting you decide to back out for any reason you can do so by informing your realtor and there are no financial penalties for doing so.

While you want to research your own expenses, have you asked the seller for T12, and past 2 or 3 years of actual financials?

In theory it sounds so simple, but I know I’m ready for the years of hard work to put in, I ultimately want to achieve financial freedom for my wife,son and I.

I attempt to never fall more than this below market because at $200/month below market the tenants cannot move into as nice a place at same cost so they have financial incentive to stay but also tenant turn over is not that costly or laborious and at more than $200/month below market it makes more sense to spend a few hundred to turn the place over and take a chance on a new tenant.- Tenants that are pretty good but not great I attempt to keep the rents at ~$100/month below market.- OK tenants I keep close to market rent.- Tenants I want to get rid of I place rent above market and let the tenants give me the notice. 

Having cancer does not absolve a individual from fulfilling their financial responsibilities.

@Paul Caputo , The commercial firms don't care about your financial skills.

If you can get a line of credit from a bank, Hard money lender, or some other kind of financier they will usually give you one to present to sellers when you make an offer.

I don't have the most money saved but I would like to start working my way towards financial freedom.  

Start with that and work backwards.You want 4-6 houses in 2-3 years so that can be:- 1 Four-Plex- 2-3 Duplex's- 4-6 SFHWhich one's interest you the most and will work with what you have financially?

It makes you think deeply as to why you’ve chosen the route to find financial freedom.
