Long distance investing/managing is an obvious for me since I move every couple years, but I retire from the Navy in 5-7 years, and I'll finally settle in one place. 

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).

My husband and I are pretty new to REI.  We jumped in with no clue about 18 months ago.  My husband and his partners sold their company, and he is transitioning out of full time employment there in the next couple of ...

Or we gradually perform high-quality updates for a live-in flip, then roll the equity into a new home.Regarding rental income, we aim to boost income, lower our effective tax rate by generating more low tax-drag income with rental income (since there’s not much we can do to lower out W2 tax bills) and have retirement cash flow.To compare the financial impact over 10-20 years, we want to analyze renting versus flipping.

All other SDIRA's, 401K's, traditional IRA except Roth IRA and Solo 401K Roth require tax be paid at the retirement age, do correct me if it's not true.Do you know about the Josh Gilmore (josh@sdirawealth) SDIRA wealth firm?

A lot of tired or retiring landlords don't want to pay 3% to a Realtor plus Capital Gains.

I am a retired USAF 20 year career and I have never used my VA loan eligibility, because it is a bad loan.
