While I’m still getting my head around this concept, the 3rd option is to cash out my retirement and place it into a Whole Life Insurance vehicle (infinite banking concept) to take loans against it for around 5% for real estate investments while the policy accuses/compounds over time, ie. 5 years (super simplistic for the purposes here).

. - get a compounding interest calculator.

Some of them are like bowing inwards.

You can also seal the walls with drywall compound and Spray on a knockdown or orange peal finish then paint it. 

The wall didn't look significantly bowed, but obviously there is the cracking and some water has been getting through based on the staining on the floor from that corner@Russell Gronsky Thanks for the heads up.

The compounding power of the added time along with the ability to leverage real estate can create significant wealth.

That's important to understand.The reason I like probate is that it represents the ultimate intersection of compounded people and often property problems. 

We're in an inverted rent:value situation that is compounded by the ridiculous lack of inventory.Now...what you're actually describing, in terms of having specific investors with specific criteria, is reverse wholesaling.  

Assuming a compounding inflationary/appreciation rate of 3% per year would put the purchase price at $168,800.

Compounding this by being remote is certainly less pleasant.
