Well Ben congratulations first for identifying what you want., which is financial freedom. As I see there is no ONE way you can do this. It depends on you , you got to have the desire first, then if you are willing to do the sacrifices (or delayed gratification in Steeve’s words) you will be on the right track. It is a good idea to do the Realtor job as you will be seeing oppurtunities before the rest of the world and you know the way they work which helps later. You have to choose what or how you want to achieve,with property it is +ve geared properties or properties with more growth and not much +ve or you want to do a flip (buy do changes and sell). It is a good idea first to get a job which gets the income coming in monthly then do this as additional when you have some cash saved up . All the Best
