Don’t get me wrong I am sure I will put my money to good use in the future, but my thoughts are if my real estate portfolio can fund my lifestyle in retirement why do I even need the additional $2.4M dollars when I turn 59 ½?

@Shiloh Lundahl I will do value add specifically with ADU development, so I am tracking permits to find other ADU developments and overall inventory growth to find a competitive edge with supplying demand in areas lacking larger residential developers aka "the middle housing"@Arlem Garcia Interesting, Tariffs will play a big role in supply chains, so it will be interesting to see how governments come to resolutions@Henry Clark Absolutely, imo gone are the days of investing for cashflow or appreciation, now it's about aligning long-term strategies with lifestyle 

I want to know any and all tips, advice, and of course down sides to this lifestyle. 

Our current focus is for a family lakehouse / lifestyle play here in TN but would like to work my way into commercial properties, short-term rental facilities, business acquisitions to name a few.

I personally am not trying to build a portfolio of 100 doors, I am trying to build a portfolio big enough to support our ideal lifestyle. - We start with the property vs. the numbers. 

Is this normal? 

Right now you have $1,000 in cash flow that can be used to fund other projects (seed money), pay you in profit to supplement your lifestyle, or fill in any gaps for underperforming properties.

I joined with the intent to surround myself with others in the field and build my confidence and understanding of the subject matter (:I live a disciplined lifestyle when managing my expenses and living below my means.

Love my job.. and its not a job its a lifestyle..
