I really enjoy my current career; however, I would like to take advantage of my stable employment and income to enter into the real estate investing world.My goal is to achieve financial freedom through buy and hold investments in multifamily/small apartment complexes while working my main job. i am also interested in gaining domain-specific expertise in areas of real estate investing with the hopes of using my software background to build technology and solutions to better the real estate world.I recently purchased my first owner-occupied home in Santa Cruz.

The thought of future financial freedom makes my current lack of freedom all worth it.

May get a little more difficult, but $20k is a few months of freedom in my book.Great discussion!

There is not much room to save and I'm always wondering is there a better way to financial freedom.

They are looking for financial freedom in the shortest window, not just net worth on a balance sheet. 

Trying to set myself up for financial freedom ASAP. 

Assuming my comfortable freedom number is $10,000 per month, I would need to acquire ~100 units that cash flow $100 each per month.

I'm looking for financial freedom in at the minimum of 5 years and obviously grow from there.

Should I look into full-time work in real estate or use it as little as possible and maximize my time at my current job in healthcare (making around 50K/yr) . 

One of my friends is going through the program now and will be buying his first home - a double - and moving toward financial freedom.
