@Ross Hendry - House hacking is a complete no brainer to start out, I am a big fan, even though I never took that step (was already too far down the suburbia lifestyle). 

If they happen to retire in the area, I see them either keep the investment as an asset, or sell it and buy a "keeper" home that fits their lifestyle better. 

More importantly, the cost of living is relatively cheaper than the west coast counterparts, so at least my west coast clients seem to experience a nice boost in lifestyle.

What kind of lifestyle do you want (working everyday or retire early)?

When 2021 hit, we really started digging into the science of investing (books, BPPC, BP webinars, etc…) and realized that we will do whatever it takes to live the financially free life style.

Talk to some people, see what they are doing, and see if what you come across fits your goals and lifestyle.  

Although, depending on your life style, you might need to have at least $1mil invested in dividend stocks to earn enough passive income to live comfortably. 

After the park is paid in full, I will have a monthly income of 5200 per month at full capacity (which it has stayed at for the 3 years since I built it).The biggest deciding factor among these options are my lifestyle. 

It was either this or go into health and wellness and become a personal trainer/coach/nutritionist as that fits my lifestyle and routine.
