We are looking at buying a home with an apartment or something similar. These are great things to think about. Thank you.

I have a question about how to maximize our income. We plan to invest in multi family as our long term retirement plan. My husband is just graduating as a CRNA this May, we are both 35 (no judging 😂), and I'm just trying to make a game plan to pay down our student loans. We have about $160k. We will be refinancing for sure. But with his job we have the opportunity for 401k match, HSA and possibly IRA accounts. I was given advice to save like crazy till the market falls again before we start investi

@Jonathan Twombly

Well that’s exactly what I’m doing right now. So I will just keep on keepin on! Thank you again.

@Adam Britt are you a teacher or professor? If you are start teaching English online friend. Great way to earn some extra income.

@Jonathan Twombly

Thank you for the advice. That is what my line of thinking was. Especially where we have some serious student loans to hack away at. I am, however, contemplating a smaller multifamily to live in while we tackle our debt. What are some things to consider in this part of the market cycle? We are in Asheville, NC.

@Serge S.

What suggestions might you have for someone like my husband and I (husband finishing grad school in May) who want Multifamily to be their retirement plan and ultimately their wealth building tool?

@Adam Britt

Check this website out Adam. I would highly recommend refinancing your loans. But this site can give you some things to consider when it comes to refinancing.

The other piece of advice I would offer is to start looking for another job. Even if it’s across the country. Find a way to leverage yourself into a better paying salary so that you can start making headway. The other thing is to seriously look at your budget and get crazy about it. Sell the car. Move into a cheaper place to live. Etc.

Where there is a will there is a way. You just have to think outside of the box.
