Achieving financial freedom through investing in real estate
is much more than an idea to dream about while on your lunch break at
your 9 to 5 job. This dream can easily become a reality setting you up
for an early retirement.
But there is a catch! To move this idea from the dream state to a
tangible reality, you must first wipe traditional ideas of money and
wealth from your thought process. If you continue to follow what we have
been told is the traditional path to prosperity, you will end up in a
dead end trap.
To achieve financial freedom, you need to consider real estate
investing. Why is investing in real estate the correct path towards
achieving freedom financially? First, you can start now
with little risk and little to no money while keeping your full-time
job. Second, rental real estate can provide you with a source of passive
income each and every month slowly freeing you from the grasp of your 9
to 5 job. Third, you can leverage the equity in your properties to
purchase more rental units or to fund other businesses that provide
automatic, residual income.
Financial freedom has nothing to do with being trapped in a cycle of
working for money, accumulating that money, and hoping that one day that
money provides security. You may think that stockpiling your
hard-earned cash in a 401k, IRA, stocks or annuities will one day give
you the freedom to enjoy your life and not worry about finances. Recent
history has shown that this does not work. Investing in real estate,
however, is another story.
Waiting and hoping to reach a mythological destination known as “some
day” is no way to live your life. Unfortunately, that is the way the
majority of people do live their lives. They feel trapped, desperate and
longing for that day that they can taste financial freedom. Using sound
principles and taking action today investing in real estate allows you
to taste that freedom sooner rather than later. It puts your money to
work for you instead of you working for your money.
