Some ideas I've considered:Equity Buyout: Having another investor or my partner buy out my 40% equity.Seller Financing: Selling my equity and offering seller financing to the buyer.Selling the Property: Liquidating the property entirely and splitting the proceeds.Does anyone have experience with situations like this?

Since you’re open to traveling, visiting potential markets and properties in person is a great idea.

@Caleb Brown I like your idea about buying as many properties as possible while we're young.

Your first run at ideas are more aspirational, but not necessarily actionable in the short term.

There are programs to find solds so that would be a good idea but an agent can pull directly from the MLS.

. - I had no idea about this.

It’s in pretty good shape at this point, rentable.I travel a lot for work, and a friend gave me the idea to do a short term rental as a one bedroom, locking all of my stuff in the other bedroom and office - I applied today and was denied because I don’t own both sides of my HPR, even though I have written permission from the owner of the other half….

However, building a relationship on a lack of disclosure or a lie isn't probably the best idea, let alone the ethics of the matter.Hope this helps.

Great idea. :)

On paper the cheap houses look great, but the reality is they are harder to manage, have higher turn over and cost a lot more time and money.Buying before you retire is a good idea because once you retire, your ability to borrow money is going to decrease as you don't have a regular income from a job.As you want to fix houses up, why not buy a house that needs a bit of work, live in it while doing the renos and then move when you sell it.
