We'll cut to the chase, here's our dirt.The Facts: Ages 51/44, Married, w/10 yr. old childOne steady income 45KOne low income & fluctuating (self employed only 2 years but growing slowly)Living/ renting in NJ (Very expensive market, 2 family units sell over 500K)Fair amount of debt 37K (Car loan, 2 CC, Medical bills)Just getting by each monthCombined 401K's =  150KMy 401 (100K) can be transferred with no penalty to a self directed IRA (I had opened up last year in hopes of using some cash to invest in RE) We are determined to get into REI however we're probably going to need some creative ways to do it with our current situation.

I am thinking that it can be used by a small medical practice, veterinary, dental. etc.
