My life is slowly all coming together, aswell as I have recieved a new job making over 50k a year and not sure what to do with it. ( assuming I save 40k/yr)My parents are struggling more financially, retirement for them is not in sight and theyre not getting any younger, theyre both 58yrs old.

In my research I've found "my solo 401k financial" that allows for REI investing, but haven't had any true luck with any others.

The developers need both economies of scale and top-end rents to make the numbers work.Post some more details, location and your financial breakdown, and the community will help you walk through whether this is actually a viable plan. 

There are many things they do that make no sense financially but they're dealing with big numbers and can't handle the work required to save a few properties here and there.

You are financially capable of going full-time with REI.

While rewarding and the pay is great, everytime I see my paycheck and the taxes come out, I ask myself, there's got to be another way to make enough to achieve financial independance. 

The first tenant isn't living with Grandma, she is a Grandma or so she told me; she lost her house in the financial crisis.

As with all things financial, there are some rules associated with how you invest in these accounts, and who you invest with.

I don't know all the facts but if you are looking for financial growth and a stronger return on investment, I would use the cash on hand to purchase another investment (or more).

I believe the changes will only satisfy your personal not financial goals.If I were to change anything I would either run the front stairs straight up to the 2nd level as opposed to a platform and branch stairs to the sides.
