Not everyone wants to be Donald Trump - some just want to make a couple extra thousand a month in retirement, and it's just a piece of their retirement planning diversification.And I think the risk also depends on leverage, not just occupancy rates.

That's why I am here :)I am a mom and an educator part-time, and we are buying real estate to build wealth for our family and for our retirement.

Once you become licensed you have 6 months to join a Broker or retire your license.

Investors all have different things they are looking at, be it cash flow, appreciation, buying a property to retire to etc.

I have considered talking to someone though because their credit is great, and they are about retire.

Normally, any and all retirement accounts are except from litigation if an individual gets sued, so all of my IRA/pension funds are protected.

This is for one reason only; I only use RE as a supplement to retirement savings, thus I prefer a lower risk option. 

Imagine if you had the chance to get into 100 of these with the same terms; you'd be able to retire in no time.

Unless the properties achieve unheard of increases in appreciation, I'll be one catastrophe away from not being able to save up enough down payment and the required cash reserves to refinance within the next 5 years.The seller has had these properties on the market off and on for about 2 years and state they want to liquidate their rentals in preparation for retirement. 

@Chris Licavoli do you have any other retirement accounts besides this one?
