Once it is operating, it doesn't require a ton of time, save & except when you have an emergency come up.

If you are looking to pull out equity on your home to start to do some fix&flips(great idea) then it would all depend on how much equity there is in you home and your current income(SSI,retirement etc).

Like a calculator to simulate this strategy (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/61/topics/795487-retire...), maybe showing how much equity could be pulled out of which property when, whether the portfolio would still cash flow, etc.

I was heavy in RE but sold most in 2021 and appreciate the simplicity of a Vanguard TSM account as I head into the last 5 years before retirement. 

One consideration as you are working on locating private lenders, is that IRA, 401(k), and other retirement accounts can be used in many cases to make private money loans.

Essentially ended up screwed out of a substantial chunk of retirement savings and left to find my own lender elsewhere to close the deal.

How many people every year pour out there life savings to come for a vacation, just from TX, not even mentioning the US or rest of world. 

I retired in 2008 with 21 years in the Air Force.13 sales in your first year is pretty impressive, particularly for someone on active duty.

A good way to gain money for retirement, etc..
