I run a full-time planning practice focused on real estate investors, so I wanted to add a few thoughts for context:1.Cash Value Takes TimeMany IULs (Index Universal Life policies) may take 7–10 years before you can borrow a meaningful amount of cash value.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

I don't really have the time to vet multiple agents, mortgage providers, property managers, etc in other markets and trust that I'm getting someone to steer me in the right direction.The Rent to Retirement concept takes all of that guesswork out of it by having teams in place in the markets that they've already researched. 

It takes boots on the ground, local resources and experienced agents to help a deal like this come together so quickly.

Take care!

There l also learned to do commercial job take offs and estimating. 

You can take over the current FHA loan so you wouldn't have to qualify for a new loan. $25k down payment and $2,330 monthly PITI. 

I put roughly 20% down on a $200k home, and am curious what steps I could take to possibly turn my original investment into a large portfolio within the next 10 years, when we're currently "low on liquid funds" after finishing up a wedding.... 

I'm going to take this as a "NO!"

I offered her rent relief or hotel not both.The job will take one week and my offer was 10 days rent relief or pay for the hotel.
