It will open doors for you in the future to accomplish your goals!

This is all for my future goal of owning a home specifically for Airbnb but that will be some time from now.

Which brings me back to the "F.I.R.E" thing maybe you should look into that and changing your lifestyle and doing a blend of a lesser/easier job, less expenses, some real estate investments, and some stock investments.

congrats. to many more projects in the near future. best of luck on your journey

So one needs to remember what you did in the past may not be quite as lucrative in the future vis a vi cash flow buy and hold...

When you buy a property with the intention to Airbnb Househack, you can find a better layout to make it more separate / private but start with what you have, Get temporarily uncomfortable so that you have a comfortable future.

I personally don't quite see any of these positions being completely eliminated due to AI, at least not in the forseeable future. 

Avoid future trouble.

Huge cash out in the future from appreciation or active income from rentals now? 

Instead:401(k) loans: They’re low-interest, and you’re paying yourself back.Roth rollovers If you can afford the taxes now, this gives future flexibility.Creative financing: I’ve seen clients leverage partnerships or seller financing to limit retirement fund withdrawals.One thing to consider: real estate markets today are vastly different from a decade ago.. so opportunities may require extra creativity.Have you looked into specific deals yet?
