My goal is to reach financial freedom young so that I can enjoy this life to the fullest, and give my loved ones everything they have missed out on.

Run your own numbers, don’t outsource your judgmentYour realtor may be great, but they aren’t the one making the mortgage payment.You only need a simple calculator like:The BiggerPockets calculatorA basic Excel sheetEven pen and paper works when you’re startingIf the numbers don’t work on paper, they won’t magically work in real life.5.

The way of life is still affordable, and the city isn't as big or hot as Houston.

My goal is to create a second revenue stream for myself and work closer to the life and financial freedom I want.

This is a very common issue with aged persons striving to stay in a residence not capable to fit end of life aged needs.

One upstairs tenant is extremely irritated and threatening not to renew because they think they need to walk on eggshells and claim to just be just trying to live their life.

For the life of me, I do not understand why borrowers reward lenders who intilaly tried to make a mint off the borrower but then when "match" what another lender offers.

What I’ve been hearing from a few banks is:They want to see repeatability before they reward flexibility.I’m curious how that looked in real life for operators here who’ve made that leap.Did you find it was more:Assets under your belt?

If you played it safe your entire life you will not get very far.

Thank you for that, real life examples helps me out so much.
