Rat Rice 2 Retirement with Brad Sumrok will meet for 2-3 days next Month I expect.   

The advisor is saying that I have a lot of debt and wants me to focus on paying off some other properties with the next 10 years, I plan on retiring at 65.  

I do believe there is merit in following simple best practices that have asset protection as a side benefit:  1) Taking out large mortgages on properties to minimize equity; 2) Having adequate liability insurance; 3) Contributing assets to retirement plans and other protected vehicles; 4) Dividing ownership of family assets between yourself, your spouse, and your children; and, especially, 5) Running an honest business and treating people fairly.  

With the grace and mercy of GOD I will own my 1st Real Estate Investment property before the end of this year this will be 1 of many as I plan on retiring early so that I will be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor and help others where needed 

I'm recently retired myself and have struggled with some of the same questions you are raising. 

I’ve just MOSTLY retired from my W-2 job and I’m working to cut my living expenses.

Hello,I know two retired families in my group, sitting on $3M+ real estate, free & clear.

Doing HML inside of a retirement vehicle is a great way to grow your funds tax deferred. 

I found a retired electrician who did not want to “work” anymore, but could be hired as a consultant to tell me what to do and check my work.

I have another 5-10 years to retire and I do not want another loan.
