It is possible to become financially independent in 10 to 15 years, but real estate is a fast track to financial independence. If you're trying to replace your income, look for a property that's going to cash flow at least a thousand dollars a month. A long-term rental is an unfurnished unit leased for a year. Medium-term rentals are furnace units that are rented over 30 days, so they are month-to-month agreements.  A short-term rental is less than 30 days, normally three or four nights, and that's the typical vacation rental model. "Even if you think you're an expert in your field, keep growing, keep learning, and keep reading books. Because you need to be getting excited, and you need to be acquiring more knowledge."
