I'm also careful not to get "work at home" people, or retired people, or people without a job/college who are home 24/7.

I took an early retirement 18 months ago from a corporate job.

It is a retirement plan, at least part of it, and a light has been shed showing, (see below) that this is not enough to retire on, and still have the same standard of living that we enjoy now, albeit a modest one.To prepare for the sale of the house, it was going to take a long time to accomplish working full time.

If you structure the ownership of a property within a retirement plan correctly, your plan could actually hire your business for services.

I want to acquire at least to commercial properties in this manner before I retire.

Retired community?

I also have created a Self-Directed IRA with checkbook control and Roth option to use my retirement plan for RE Investment purposes. 

I currently have a multi unit property or (retirement account that pays me now) and am looking into prehabs/rehabs as my next business.

Depending on the neighborhood and schools, this could net you decent appreciation if you are holding for retirement and just want the tenant to pay the bills in the meantime. 

Our goal is to retire in 15 years when my husbands retires from the military through the cash flow from these houses.
