100% financing, no payments, financing in extra "cash out" money upfront so you can do a rate/term refi once you pay them off... 

Delta has not charged me extra for the new block.

I think if you have a little extra time, operating a smaller STR business can pick up some good income.

Instead:401(k) loans: They’re low-interest, and you’re paying yourself back.Roth rollovers If you can afford the taxes now, this gives future flexibility.Creative financing: I’ve seen clients leverage partnerships or seller financing to limit retirement fund withdrawals.One thing to consider: real estate markets today are vastly different from a decade ago.. so opportunities may require extra creativity.Have you looked into specific deals yet?

The home would be about 6 weeks for my team customarily but the outside is large so 2 extra weeks to be safe.

@Vidit Maini Until you are an ESTABLISHED business I would recommend just keeping track of your mileage for deduction as opposed to spending the extra money to buy a “company vehicle”.

The idea here being you buy a 3-4 bedroom house near your practice facilities--and renting the extra rooms to your teammates. 

The goal is to minimize unnecessary usage and prevent extra costs, rather than blindly paying whatever bill comes in.

We have increased our monthly rent to price ratio from your ~0.75% to 1.1% but the leverage ate up all the extra cash flow (even if the total return is likely higher).You could be a cash buyer and go from your one property to 20 and cash flow 20000/mo but you are still having to buy and manage 20 properties.You can do better on the total cash flow in other markets or rougher neighborhoods, but the story is similar: you are getting an extra ~25-35% in income for 20x the hassle.

This provides extra peace of mind in case your upleg does not work out or the seller or lender will not deal.4) Truly retire for real estate ownership.
