I want REI as a retirement tool, and possibly an extra money source to be able to do things with my family and provide better for them.

I would like to do this part time until I can retire in 7 years.

Keep it up and you'll be retired in no time!

Its just especially frustrating when I talk to someone from Florida for instance (where a fair amount of WI residents move to retire, especially on the west coast for some reason) and they mention a tax bill barely into four figures for a fairly nice home or condo, its truly laughable compared to what we go through up here!

She has 175K cash (from retirement money and savings from not making payments for 3 years) and wants an investor (me) to lend 45K or so as a first position mortgage.

I am semi-retired due to multiple injuries I have sustained by falling down stairs.

@Billy RogersOur goal is to use the income to retire at "will" once my husband reaches retirement age in the military.

The seller was retiring and told me that the tenant was a little weird.

Ultimately, we need to leverage these houses to let us continue to grow and retire on-time.We plan to target SFR with a total cost of around $75K, though we would consider anything from $50K to $100K.

My goal is to have rental properties for a regular income stream, hopefully enough to retire on.
