Im not sure if I do enough to call it active but it's my only gig right now since I retired .No involvement , I go check on the property in Colorado on occasion to check it out the condition.from my decades of doing this you pay income tax to the state you live in..

@Robert Portal thank you for the mention of Rent To Retirement. 

I’m exploring all options to try to save myself.

Save your money for your first deal and dive into self-education and local connections instead!

I also have been speaking or will speak with Roofstock, Home Union, Rent to Retirement, and Marshall Reddick.

You may have to sell the whole property to access the funds in the IRA or 401k when you retire and for required minimum distributions. 

I've got my long term goal....retirment income in 10-15 years figured out, identified and traveled to a few markets I think could work. 

More and more US and Canadians retire in Mexico.

It seems like you are making money in you job, as it seems like you've saved $200,000 (50% of $400,000.)

Had I hired a professional, it would have been done in a month and the extra five months of rent income would have paid for the contractor, saving me six months of nights and weekends.
