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

The glorious beginning of financial freedom!

It's a MASSIVE first step to financial freedom and wealth creation. 

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.

I’ve always wanted to build something bigger for myself something that gives me more freedom and purpose.I’m ready to take on the challenges that come with learning real estate and eventually investing in properties.

It’s a practical first step toward financial freedom — you become both a homeowner and an investor on the same day.Living in your own investment property allows you to learn property management firsthand while keeping your costs low.

From what I’m seeing, the market’s shifted:Companies are more cost-conscious.Some prefer stipends over direct housing.But relocation and healthcare contracts are booming.Corporate arbitrage still works — if you adapt.

Fortunate enough that if I can pull this off, that would be my freedom number.Would love to grow a portfolio, but definitely need guidance. 

I am starting to look to invest in real estate to achieve financial freedom like many of you. 

But if there’s any uncertainty about timing, I’d lean toward a bridge loan or even negotiating a rent-back period after selling, just to keep things flexible.If you have enough equity in your current home, the HELOC gives you the freedom to move forward without rushing the sale and since interest is only paid on what you use, it keeps things manageable during the overlap period.The only thing to watch is timing and market conditions.
