@Travis Boyd why does your FIL want to retire from landlording?

It will probably save you a lot of time and headaches to go that route.

After spending 25 years as a Software Engineering and Product leader, I’m now exploring the world of real estate investing (REI) and looking forward to learning from all of you.My goal is to leverage my current investments and savings to build a real estate portfolio that will eventually allow me to transition away from my current career.

We are trying to not use our retirement funds.

One more reason why people should stop looking for the easy path to building wealth.Increase earnings, reduce expenses, save, and invest.

I watched a Brigg’s YouTube video on best places to retire and Carson City was #2.I was thinking more of drive up occasionally during the summer place unless Vegas gets much worse. 

Did you set out to retire with real estate, did you have a goal or an amount you wanted to make?

I am 80 years old and rely on investments for retirement income.

Additionally, another neighbor who owns an adjacent parcel has expressed interest in joining the project, contributing their land to the development as well.I believe this could be a great opportunity for all of us, especially as a unique retirement plan for my family and my neighbors.

Hope to spend more time here in retirement.
