Some are just on one project.If you had $600,000 in your qualified retirement plan, you wouldn't put it all into Amazon stock, would you?

They save a lot of money in annual filing fee's with the state.  

When you say 'transitioning', are you saying getting out of the military or retiring?  

You give them a way out of where they are, and typically giving those people that way out saves them from a lot more heartache.

I have all the connections to save money on materials.

Currently saving up money and thinking of going the live-in multi-unit route along with possibly some tax lein investing back in Indiana.  

Insurance and gas price difference on a smaller, cheaper car will save you AT LEAST $100 a month vs the truck you own now.

But if you do have that set of keys, you could save yourself a locksmith's fees in case if any emergency came up.  

My other choices are to buy a turnkey out of state (which I find very interesting but scary at the same time since I don't know many people out of state) or to just keep saving until me and my serious girlfriend are ready to settle down into a house hack.What I would love to do is buy a one a family out of state for around 100K so that I can get started in real estate and also not have to put a huge down payment so that I still have the capital to do a house hack in the future.

I’m looking to real estate to secure my retirement and augment my income with hopes that I can build a business to pass on to my children someday.I’m very interested in growing my network around the Denver and Front Range area and would love start getting involved in some of the meet-ups in the area.
