Do you want to own your own real estate like an apartment or retail center and create a side business?

I'm a retired engineer and have been successfully using income from these houses to support my retirement without dipping into retirement savings.I'm transitioning my business from rentals to a franchise and would consider selling one of my houses (5 br/4 ba - the other houses my son while he's still attending).

You cannot maintain a business with negative cashflow. 

I made a similiar mistake in business, paying $1.1M upfront for promises and had no way to cut losses when those promises were not delivered on.

If I'm staying one night somewhere, a quick business trip or something into Denver to show clients homes, a hotel is my choice.

She also mentioned that they’ve been in real estate since 2006 and have managed over 30 properties (though this is more of a side business for them), which suggests a mom-and-pop operation.

Working this backwards, what I see is a 3rd party trying to benefit from another’s house via rental cashflow, My only business is 30+ years as probate estate and trust lending in CA.

Lee Arnold is by far one of the best people in the business.
