Work for your own nest egg, then start your investing career. 

Think kids moving out of the nest and finding their own place.

Have you built up a nest egg to work with?

I'd look on Meetup.com for a Cashflow 101 or Millionaire Maker club near you.You're fortunate to be starting with a little nest egg.

Lots of grazing for wildlife and nesting areas for birds. 

I pay around $8500 for 4 story, new construction house, 2200 sq ft, including a nest thermostat.

I am trying to figure this thing out for myself because I wish to put part of my nest egg into RE but am worried about high inflation in a few years.

You may have that large nest egg but mine is limited and I am competing out here.The fact is though, most deals seem to close the first time out the gate - the top agent will give you there pipeline ahead of time and you can have all your research done before anyone else even knows it exists.

@Alexander Merritt An LLC could serve as the holding company - we do not have LLCs in Canada, so your choices are to own in your own name (sole proprietor) or within a corporation (like a C corp in the U.S.A.).I would consult with your real estate attorney and CPA before setting up any ownership hierarchy (nested or serial LLCs, C-Corp, S-Corp, etc) to see what best fits your current and future needs.  

You can create a real nice nest egg.If you are really looking at that retirement plan as a means to put yourself in the business of flipping houses, then the ROBS plan can make a lot of sense.
