You are (older/retired) and could benefit from house hacking and buying a duplex, or renting a room.

That was my whole reason for the post, trying to figure out how to use my sizeable retirement account to my benefit to grow my business of owning/managing rentals. 

With $200K-$250K, you can secure high-quality rental properties in both cities while benefiting from steady appreciation, strong rental demand, and landlord-friendly laws.Oklahoma City has a rapidly growing economy, with major industries like aerospace, energy, healthcare, and tech fueling job growth.

An example in my experience would be a local/regional foundation with a mission that is aligned directly or indirectly with Affordable Housing AND a longer-term investment horizon with less of a focus on the financial return and more on the "social" return for the community.

Hey Tim, Under IRS Publication 523, as a military member on qualified extended duty, you benefit from an extension of the “2 out of 5 years” rule to “2 out of the last 10 years” for excluding capital gains on the sale of a primary residence.

There are landlords who are proud to own properties while offering their communities a nice and safe place to live (and enjoying the benefits of having someone else pay for your appreciating asset).

I think there is value in ADU as long as it is legally done and can be legally rented.On the sale side a benefit can always be an in law suite.

Whether you sell and simplify or hold and continue to benefit from appreciation, it’s about aligning with your long-term goals and lifestyle.

I am sure many are actually purchasing real estate with these unsecured loans but the investors are not really benefiting from the real estate, they are merely making a fixed return and providing inexpensive equity sources to those who actually own the real estate.

Giving them a financial hand to leave could be to your benefit, but I would keep that in my back pocket until its necessary. 7.
