However, after reading, and reading, and reading some more, I'm thinking of changing that goal to not only be able to pay cash for a home, but to also build an income stream through rentals. 

I do have David Greene's book, but haven't read it yet.

Thanks a lot Cody, reading your reply encourages memore to start buying here in Houston.

Hi everyone....A group of investors looking to start investing in Florida yet not sure how to recognize the best market for flipping purposes.From what we get to see, read and hear Florida is one of the best places to invest these days yet we fail to solve the question whether its good for buy and hold / flipping / both.Any insights concerning how to choose the best region for house flipping will be highly appreciated :)Thanks,Shachar.

You can read more about it here on BP, as it can be a good exit strategy.

The numbers look ok but that can vary GREATLY based on the ares, the age of the building, the age of the major mechanicals, how much work will be needed once a tenant moves out to make it rent read and other misc variables.

But the market seems so high right now in my area , and almost all books that I read or podcasts that I listened are saying that "you get reach buying". 

After reading I don't know how many books on investing and financial independence I decided real estate was the answer.My life's goal is to retire while I am young enough to appreciate my retirement.
