@Nichole StohlerI find using a SDIRA to be a great tool for passive investments and growing your retirement with less stress than the stock market roller coaster. 

Hope to spend more time here in retirement.

We have some retirement accounts.

All other SDIRA's, 401K's, traditional IRA except Roth IRA and Solo 401K Roth require tax be paid at the retirement age, do correct me if it's not true.Do you know about the Josh Gilmore (josh@sdirawealth) SDIRA wealth firm?

I am expecting to do 3-4 deals per year until I get to 20 properties or so and then snowball the debt so they are all paid off by retirement. 

Or we gradually perform high-quality updates for a live-in flip, then roll the equity into a new home.Regarding rental income, we aim to boost income, lower our effective tax rate by generating more low tax-drag income with rental income (since there’s not much we can do to lower out W2 tax bills) and have retirement cash flow.To compare the financial impact over 10-20 years, we want to analyze renting versus flipping.

I'm retired and don't want to play the, Let's have a meeting before we have the meeting.

I was heavy in RE but sold most in 2021 and appreciate the simplicity of a Vanguard TSM account as I head into the last 5 years before retirement. 

I learned about them from a Rent to Retirement podcast where they interviewed a former W2 FT sales guy in tech (that's me today...) turn real estate investor.
