Investing passively is usually best for those who are seeking freedom of their time, along with leverage of the sponsor's experience.

Just made an offer on an 8 unit with a retail space.  36 units should get me to my freedom number, so my goal is to reach that byt the end of 2017.

It's was big milestone for me because it gave me the freedom to build my own real estate business.

If your goal is financial freedom you will need to own multiple properties so start buying as soon as you can. 

Price of freedom 

The problem is that I'm not sure where to start, and I need practical RE education.The idea of also wearing the entrepreneur's hat in the project is that it will give me more independence -Financial independence, general life independence (to depend more on myself and my abilities and less on clients) and creative freedom and control as an architect, to make more coherent projects - in terms of decisions, design and presentation.If someone here has an idea \ insights \ advices for how should I start my new way it would help a lot.thanks,Niv

I wanted to give guests the freedom to control the temperature, but if everywhere let it run like this, I'd have to raise my rates.I went ahead and put a lock on it.

Their rate is at the top end of what you typically see, but the freedom we have to continue to work full time bringing in new money to chase other investments with is well worth it.   

Hearing others talk about "Financial Freedom" intreagued me as I have always worked my butt of for everything I have.

I order the book financial freedom by Michael Blank and Best ever apartment syndication book by Joe Fairless.
