I currently have a pre-tax retirement account with employer match and a Roth IRA invested in the stock market.

That is what our team at Rent to Retirement has been helping investors to do for a decade now with BP.

Her income now is SS of around $2400 and a basic 40hr office job that pays all of $17/hr, but she is retiring with this move.

Thanks to everything I’ve learned from the podcasts, books, and this community, my wife and I currently own:A triplex in MaineA single-family rental in San AntonioA single-family primary residence in Las Cruces, NM, which will become a rental when we move in a few monthsFor context, I’m an active-duty Army officer with about 12 years left until retirement, and my wife works for a university in Boston.

Upon contacting Rent to Retirement, we were told by the rep that Delta "cut off" communication with Rent to Retirement and if we choose to continue with Delta Build, we will have to resolve issues with them ourselves as Rent to Retirement can no longer speak on our behalf.

Then continue to scale - don't try and retire off one deal

Retirement in 20 or so years.

Current individual stock portfolio (non-retirement accounts) with holdings that might be volatile in the next few years (big tech & big oil). $51k is about 17% of the portfolio and gains on the stock holdings are already 100-200% (long-term).

I have already met with and spoken with a couple through my current work (both active and recently "retired") that didn't seem all that eager to get into the topic, or interested even offering advice beyond "I wouldn't recommend it."

I'm more interested in purchasing 10 homes to have fully paid off by the time I retire, as I'm not living on the cash flow w/ current job.
