The builders lender was pressuring them and would not give them new loans until these were retired..

To start my portfolio, I intend to buy a property in my area to retire my mother from New York.

Sit back and grab some popcorn.I will chop this up into smaller segments, so each one isn't too long of a read and has a central theme.Both Retiring and doing Self Storage, we hit the mark where we both had the funding and the time to invest overseas. 

Is using a self-direct IRA to fund this venture a way to defer taxes until retirement ?

Well I am a limited partner and retired on caah flow.

Despite this negative post, we are still willing to assist in any way we can, with the understanding that everyone interacts in a professional manner.Grant McMillan, COO Rent to Retirement can someone make a marketplace where investors can direct contract with builders and we can bypass these guys for good. it's a sales company that's it.  

Final thoughtsSo its been a journey, I am contemplating going full-time in entrepreneurship as this is my second successful business, my end goal in life is to have the option to retire by 35 haha so I want to do everything in my power now for future me.

I'm Benjamin from Munich in Germany and very happy to have found this thread.Having always been a fan of Lisbon, I'm excited I convinced my parents to retire in Portugal and buy a home in Estoril last year.Now it will be quite practical for me to combine work/invest with pleasure and visits.

My purpose behind my decision to pursue REI is to gain financial freedom for wife and I, my future family as well as have the ability to make sure my parents are well taken care of once they reach the retirement age.If I had to label myself I’d want to be known as an open minded rental investor for all long term, mid term and short term investing, with the occasional flip for quicker capitol to put back into another rental.

My own personal experience is that a huge stressor has been lifted since I've stopped spending hours looking for and analyzing deals and my index funds/stocks are doing well (just hope it doesn't decline in value when retire from my W2 job).
