Income wise they do very well, and had these medical issues never arose and had the flood never occurred they actually would have had a very good little nest egg.

I'm employed overseas and have saved a decent nest egg that I am looking to use towards attaining a property that brings in passive income or scaleable gains as a fix & flip business in my home state of Oregon.

If you sell it for that, and consider seller's expenses, will you have a sizeable nest egg to work with?

But we also want our tenants to be able to "nest" and take pride in the place they live.

I have saved a $45k nest egg from working over the years.

If I use my personal finances I could get about 5 houses with down payments but start eating away at the nest egg.

congratulation on having shored up a nice nest egg at 40!

1) Use hard money, get a partner of wholesale the deal to build a nest egg. 3) This forum is not as active as some others because only Pro members see it. 

Did you work 30 years to build up a $1MM nest egg to invest?

I have a friend that is considering starting to do some 'side work' just to be able to qualify for a SOLO401K and then roll his sizeable nest egg over and start buying rentals with that.Dan Dietz
