I'd like to do a live-in flip, once we decide where we want to live post empty nesting.

Will this be your retirement nest egg, your monthly income, both, what you plan to pass on to heirs?

I am looking at upwards of $800 to get the birds out, and to replace the ceiling fan that the nest damaged.Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated.

I would love to get into flipping homes to build a nest egg towards retirement.

It looks like low hanging fruit as there are many baby boomers who are unloading their nests in favor of downsizing, but they probably don't have motivation to do so with any method other than retail.

I, too, am at the next phase of my life (nearly empty-nest) and have the same intentions that you expressed.

I am not planning on social security or a paid off house to be my nest egg.

By paying  yourself rent (saving excess) you will still be building a nest egg but it will be tax free.5.

BUT he would have to have strong fundamentals such as the cash to make a substantial DP; a very high paying secure job, a successful business that he owns and runs, assets and/or passive income from assets, savings or nest egg in a brokerage acct, a 401k, etc. which actually would make him low risk because he truly shows the means for being able to service his mortgage debt.

Strategy #1 - - Buy properties to fix and rehab with all cash - create large nest egg (1mil) then buy a lot of rental properties, rinse and repeat.
