I have found a property that has caught my eye.  I emailed the real estate agent and thats about as far as I have gotten.  In my mind I want to create cashflow and rent out the other unit so that the occupant can pay off the mortgage for me.

Thank You!

I had no idea about those special incentives for teachers... I will have to look into that immediately!  That is something that will have amazing benefits.

Thanks again!  Im looking into that book as we speak,  Im still in the middle of reading The book of Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down lol but ill crack that one open as soon as I finish

@Hamp Lee 

Thank you, 

I really want to get involved and finally begin to take control of my life, financial freedom is the ultimate goal!  I bought a couple books and have been trying to piece information together, I feel like the hardest part is simply getting from zero to one!

That is amazing! Congratulations!!!

Thats too easy... My goal is financial independence, I despise having to wake up everyday and work for someone else... I grew up in a family of entrepreneurs and people that work for themselves.  I have a burning desire to be my own boss and put in the hours so that I can set my own schedule and build my own life, not take the safe route only to die old, and broke with regrets.  Also, I want to establish something that I will be able to pass down to future generations.  

I am looking to purchase my first property for 136,000.  I was curious as far as what I should do or if I should even invest in this property 1st or look for something else.  I am currently a teacher in South Carolina.  Any advice welcome!

Video is super helpful!
