We have a decent plan working now, its just a matter of financing and scaling.

Michelle Wang,With all due respect, you should make plans to be in another business once you're out of Real Estate Investing (Residential, Income Property).There are Members of our MassRealEstate dot net Association that come crying to me about similar situations as yours i.e.

This property offers spacious townhouse like setting floor plans offering one, two and three-bedrooms.

My plan right now is reading up and down this forum and learning as much as I can.

If you're working on other projects during that time, it could create an issue, as it would for any employer.Why not be upfront with your boss and let them know you're planning to get your real estate license?

Make sure they know you plan to publicly point out to the local newspapers, Mayor's Office, and anyone who will be campaigning against them, just how stupid and lazy they are. 

I have employer sponsored plans that match contributions as well as a solo 401k and I do a backdoor Roth. 

Building a strong financial plan, researching markets, assembling a reliable team, and having an exit strategy are essential steps to success.Good luck!

We never planned to keep our new build for 30 years, which is why we would have never used your cap ex valuation. 

You'll find that your best talent is already working at another lender or is planning to transition to the broker side.
