Plus, if you’re also thinking about a lifestyle element, who doesn’t love living near the beach?

If your problems were really caused by an unexpected ac failure (can’t believe your realtor didn’t get seller to throw in a home warranty.) and not lifestyle.

@Marie CopulHunker down and pare down your lifestyle expenses as much as possible so you can replace what you need as quickly as possible.I did have a client take down a 57 unit mixed use apartment deal that added $1.1M to his net worth and $180k a year in cash flow in 12 months but those types of results are not typical.However, some type of commercial real estate would be my suggestion and one where you are driving the ship so you keep most if not all the equity.I have some ideas for you and would be happy to talk you through them.

We reinvested 100% of the profits for 10 years and never upgraded our lifestyle. 2)We self manage.

What is your soon to be betrothed risk tolerance, lifestyle, time and energy?

Consider OT career prospects and lifestyle.

@Sathya Priya SampathkumarLook for markets that can fit into your lifestyle and your goals.

I worked nonstop for 7-8 years building up my business but now the money has afforded me the lifestyle and freedom that is absolutely worth it.

But if your a W 2 and real estate is how you are planning on retiring by investing that is a completely different lifestyle and motivation and game plan. 

If you live paycheck to paycheck and do all this you are never going to become an investor because you aren't willing to change your lifestyle now for something you can have in a few years.
