Becoming a Real Estate investor would provide me with the financial freedom that I desire.

My goal is to build long-term passive income as well as give me financial freedom and free me from my W-2 job.

very interesting thread, thank you for posting How much are you looking to make per year so you can have the freedom you desire?

I'm here to learn and grow to reach financial freedom as quickly as I possibly can! 

@Steve Rozenberg – My end goals are to have 10,000$ Monthly cash-flow in order to spend time with my family, travel the world and have financial freedom.

I am still trying to figure out the strategy that I will take to reach the financial freedom that I'd like.

I work full-time in another profession and think about what it would be like to have financial freedom and the ability to quit one day if I wanted to. 

BUT DON'T - get too active as an agent - it is too easy to become brain washed in that part of the business - there is so much more money and freedom as an investor - and to understand the culture of real estate agents - I've always suggested that if agents are so smart - why are they agents and not investors?
