He has a hefty profit-sharing account that he cannot touch until 2 years after he retires, so the sooner he retires, the sooner we should be able to use some of that for investing in real estate.My husband is very supportive of me in the real estate journey, but it is not really his thing.

Doesn't matter what you call them......And most people with said experience will be working GCs.....or if you get lucky, a retired GC that spent decades in the trenches.

I don’t know when you’re planning on retiring but I would venture to say you can work a few more years and save $300k a year and spend that on additional investments and in a few years increase your net worth by at least $1 mil.

My wife and I are active-duty Army Officers stationed in San Antonio, TX.We've been investing in new-construction single-family homes with Rent to Retirement in Florida, Alabama, and soon in the Carolinas.

IRS is beginning to look more closely at valuation of self-directed retirement accounts, and they don't like it if you "under distribute."

Lastly, don't forget about other smart moves like using self-directed retirement accounts or 1031 exchanges to keep your tax bill in check.

I am passionate about real estate investing and I am particularly passionate about commercial, small multifamily, single family houses, apartments, notes, condos, mobile home parks, self storage, wholesaling, development, short-term rentals, flipping, rentals, BRRRR, and house hacking.Outside of real estate, I enjoy helping fix the financial goals towards retirement, help people looking for health Insurance, Life Insurance and annuities.

I am buying the home for possible future relocation/frequent retirement visits, new residency/tax filing, and because my sister lives there.

For my part, before I retired, it took me more time to review and correct someone else's lease than to revise and publish one I had already done.

We would not have been able to relax (retire sounds so final) early without our housing and utility costs being completely covered as they are.
