Quote from @Arina Alexiuc:  My BIG dream is to build a portfolio big enough so that we can replace our current income and retire comfortably (dream big they say, right ;)?)

It's a side hustle started aside of my employee job and I feel that this is my best plan to pay my 4 kids college starting in 2027 and secure my dream retirement in about 10 years.

I'm hoping to leave the corporate world as soon as possible to pursue building my dream. 

When these homes get listed, we get photos and the 'dream of owning your own vacation home' So we have to start with price & location..if those both meet the criteria, then we hone in on weather we want one that has not been taken care of and likely not generating enough income to cover expenses or one that is fully themed and likely will continue to do well if all else stays the same.

A dream of ours regardless!

For reference sake, we have one mortgage at 7.5%; one at 5%; and all other financing below 4% with an overall portfolio weighted average interest rate of 3.785%I don't care too much if you have 5 properties or 500, but I'm curious if others have gone through this thought process at some point in their real estate investment journey and if so how did you make this decision?

I know there's AI doomers and boomers, it's definitely going to carry some weight but when the boomers push this narrative it's not without a lot of issues that aren't being recognized.For one, the power for this to happen would require massive, and I mean massive, energy capabilities that just aren't ready right now from a data center level.

There are dream merchants and their followers.

Whether we meet or not I wish you the best on all your dreams and goals!
