I'm more into this for spending money later but I also don't see anything wrong with taking out profits if it fits your lifestyle, it just may slow down growth which isn't where I am at at the moment.  

Within IT though I would also recommend, on a lifestyle and time basis, that once you have a certain number of years under your belt as a technician, say 4 or 5 years, I would shift gears from the technician route and use that background to get onto the project management path. 

Think in terms of dollars needed to cover your lifestyle and work fast to get there. 

The question becomes how low do you need the cost of living to drop to win, and what lifestyle do you want? 

If I have 4 million dollars, I will retire tomorrow regardless my age because I know I will never use up the money (with a middle class lifestyle).

It would be so sad to have to get a 9-5 job at h the is point, we’ve put in so much and love this lifestyle and everything about real estate.

Renovated for today's lifestyle and paid it off.
