The ultimate goal is a healthy retirement income that equals or exceeds out W2 income to supplement the IRAs, and provide enough to continue growing faster than inflation lol.

I also have a credit/equity partner interested in doing some deals.Trying to come up with a game plan on supplementing and ultimately replacing the oilfield income.

I have long had an interest in investing in real estate and am in the process of educating myself so I can come out swinging.My goals for the future are pretty basic: I hope to secure a job in Florida and begin investing with my father to supplement my income.

@Mike D'Arrigo I'm really not sure besides the fact that I'd like to supplement my income in the long run and be able to prepare for retirement.

As we get older, we are looking at investment opportunities to supplement our incomes.

Yes interest is high, but in my case, where we are able to build the houses and all...... we will have several properties under one note which will help us and we are not looking for a quick return but rather supplemental income.

Interested in growing my portfolio and eventually owning a large apartment complex after I retire from the USAF to supplement my retirement income.  

My problem is currently I work upwards of 15 hours a day 6 days a week in my business, and getting into real estate is may way to transition out of the other business (income supplement).

My Dad had a pension, would have probably needed the money to last about 30 years and 16k/year (4% of 400k) would have provided more than a sufficient amount of supplemental income for him, as well as having a high probability of success based on historical trends.
