I had a great lifestyle in my 20s and 30s.

I left biglaw earlier this year to take an in-house job with a (MUCH) better lifestyle but lower long-term earning potential.Household Income: $365 guaranteed, $440 if I hit my bonus and include our rental (bonus is a target of $60k but is not guaranteed, rental grosses $15k though we net less after taxes/expenses)Net worth: $1.15M: Cash-$390k, Equity in existing rental (out of state)- $200k, college savings $30k and retirement accounts - $520k, no debt (both cars owned outright and rental doesn't have a mortgage).Current Housing – We live in a HCOL where we rent a 2bd/2ba condo for $3.1k.

To move away, we either cut our lifestyle in half or figure out a way to give our portfolio a "make-over" to somehow squeeze more profit out of it while at the same time hiring management so that I don't have to work on it full-time..I'd love to hear any success stories of others who have been in our shoes or advice on what direction to take.

I'm more interested in accumulating a lot of doors than having a flashy lifestyle; I use the money to buy more properties.My brother, Joe, told me how he puts money into a Vanguard charitable fund - the money can't be removed but he can donate to charities he likes - and I want to do the same so I'll be putting some money that would be going toward taxes into that instead.

I think reading the 12 week year and having 1 goal for business, school, and lifestyle is a good place to start.

The reality is, this is a lifestyle.

. - Have enough (take home after tax pure cash flow) from my properties to match my current w2 net income ( which roughly 7500$ to $11000 monthly)- Not create a lifestyle where I am so immersed in my real estate investments that I cannot enjoy life.

I'll be shocked if you can actually get much cash flow out of them (unless you are putting 50%+ down payment) once you factor in the taxes and high HOA fees but sounds like this is more of a lifestyle choice.
