Then continue to scale - don't try and retire off one deal

I have had two amazing mentors in very specific niches, but they retired.

Like a calculator to simulate this strategy (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/61/topics/795487-retire...), maybe showing how much equity could be pulled out of which property when, whether the portfolio would still cash flow, etc.

But, what’s the best strategy for someone who wants to own property, but just as an “aside”; to diversify their portfolio, hedge against inflation, or build a retirement nest egg?

Tools like this helped us determine that retiring in the Memphis Metro area was good for us and has helped form our investing strategy, mainly SFR and some commercial spaces (flex, studios, small office).

I retired in 2008 with 21 years in the Air Force.13 sales in your first year is pretty impressive, particularly for someone on active duty.

As a mostly retired investor I loved owning them for the cash flow.

I’m trying to diversify some and build my Retirement Accounts with some stocks.

A lot of people find those lot to build on in their retirement, and in between use them as vacation spots in summer.
