My biggest regret in my pursuit of financial independence was not purchasing more investment properties a decade ago when prices and interest rates were much more favorable. Now I’m still buying in today's environment but I would have been much further along should I have been more aggressive. The reason why I did not grasp the opportunity head on was a lack of knowledge on how incredible real estate investing can be and I also allowed my fear of jumping into something I was largely unfamiliar with to get the better of me. I plan to cover my exact strategy, specific details on my investment properties, as well as where I’m buying in a separate video but in this one, I want to cover 5 reasons why you should consider investing in real estate to create financial freedom for yourself and your family.
