However, I know that I do not want all my income to be reliant on my day job and live to watch my retirement account grow.I am probably doing better than a lot of people my age but am eager to take the correct steps to build a real estate portfolio.

Yep, I already knew that I won’t retire by my job ages before I started working, this job is just the pathway for me to open my own business.

That is why we are giving funds at age 30 and 40.  

I am 49, (not far from your age) my business partner is the same age as me.  

If it lives up to the hype I guess a lot more age groups could have some exposure just like gold etc.  

@Caleigh McDonough age old question.How long will it take you to save the extra funds vs how much the property may increase in price over that time?

Nice to hear your son is also getting into the rehabbing thats amazing for that age!

Age of building2.

Your remaining balances weren’t entirely clear on the two mortgages, they are really low rates, so instinct is not to refinance them, but sometimes it is worth it for the longer term vision.It also seems like you may be considering tapping your equity to replace your income, without knowing your age or long term goals, this doesn’t seem like a great idea on the surface.If you are interested in jumping into real estate full time to replace your income you should realize that is probably going to take 12-24 months.
