Living in bumfck NH started a chain reaction that enabled me to retire modestly at 28, just 3 years later.

These factors contribute to a stable and expanding economy, which can drive demand for housing.

Meaning if you only 'pay in' on say 50% of your income each year by using the S-Corp strategy that you will also only get a proportionate retirement benefit down the road?

Here is the thread I started a few months back detailing my experience with Growth Equity Group, Brett Immel, and their cronies.https://www.biggerpockets.com/...Subsequently, I've had dozens of investors come to me directly, many of them having phone conversations with me, stating how they lost most or all of their retirement funds.

Unfortunately, one of my Apts had to have all the pipes replaced and at the time the retired plumber went with copper. 

 @Jake Baker Love that strategy by being to attract tenants with affordability and getting the stable monthly cash flow compared to weekly rentals which may have a higher profit but a much higher risk making them not really viable in today's market. 

Not only was my market timing great, but I sold my less promising buildings and used the proceeds to pay down debt on my long term keeper properties, which have higher end tenants and are thus more stable and much easier to manage.

I think paying off your primary makes sense if you are close to retirement, but not if you’re young, and not if you have a sub 6% interest-rate. 

I have a good credit score (791 based solely on credit cards) make almost $200,000 per year, and have very healthy investment and retirement accounts in America.

And it is not something you do retroactively anyway, only proactively.Contribute to retirement plans.
