I think we can reduce our spending quickly if needed.

build to rent is great. they are an intermediary that help investors contract direct with turn key new build. they are pretty sophisticated we have sold a house so far and we are looking to sell other multifamily with them. there is a vetting process and as an intermediary they don't control construction they help vet builders and establish relationships. they have a big team. the other builder I've never heard of but unless you can see your house I wouldn't touch it. rent to retirement has a strict policy of 90 days until certificate of occupancy until they will send a deal out they are good at what they do and I'd recommend them. they have options all over the country and established relationships.

- Say you decided not to go all in on real estate, do you have confidence that your current nest egg would be enough to protect your retirement spend?

It's not fool proof but I've weeded out a lot of people this way without spending money for marketing.
