Like a calculator to simulate this strategy (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/61/topics/795487-retire...), maybe showing how much equity could be pulled out of which property when, whether the portfolio would still cash flow, etc.

@Travis Boyd why does your FIL want to retire from landlording?

I retired in 2008 with 21 years in the Air Force.13 sales in your first year is pretty impressive, particularly for someone on active duty.

And the rental market is pretty stable.

Long-term buy-and-hold rentals in stable neighborhoods, prioritizing consistent cash flow and responsible management over rapid appreciation.

Quote from @Laura Yelin: Hello BP'sI like Sherman...I lived there for about 3 years many years ago and still sell and rent there.It's a slow wealth building market in my opinion, not get rich quick.Mostly blue collar stable town.

On the other hand, maybe you are going to lose some personal income due to retirement and want the cash flow.

And the Solo-K would enable you to borrow $50K from the retirement balance to use as you please.

The December 2024 report from the Austin Board of REALTORS® (ABoR) shows stable housing prices and balanced market conditions in the Austin metro as we reached year’s end.

Stable demand, in retiree market - yes, but also in several other segments: professional working remotely, new Americans.
