He is now wishing that he didn't have his nest egg buried in this "cash flowing" opportunity and is looking to cash out.

Keep taking the bus for another year while you grow your portfolio some more and then buy 2 lambos, and still have a nice nest egg feeding itself. 

If I were her husband and it were "my" nest egg, I'd probably let her run with enough to see how it goes!

It's a pretty good way to grow your nest egg.

So they may make their $10k-$15k Profit, plus get 7%-8% interest as well, giving them a nice monthly cash flow.Might not work for everyone, but I am considering doing this down the road once I’ve built up a sizable nest egg.

Have you looked at products like Nest that will also integrate with lighting, wifi, etc?

And you might not be so eager to part with your $40K nest-egg in a period of economic strife.So, anyway, those are my thoughts for a random Wednesday...

If you have active self employment (not passive investment holdings) that produce significant income, you can defer significant amounts into the 401k and both reduce your tax profile while building up that nest egg.  

However, that online business gave me a nest egg in which to start my RE business.

Ultimately, you could be looking at a workout.But, if you want to keep it to cashflow, publish some lease-to-own ads to get some folks who have steady income, poor credit, a decent nest egg stashed and want to own.
