Debt snowball these properties while fund Roth IRA, 403b after appropriate CapEx/emergency funds for the properties.How has this played out so far.Got pre-approved for an absurd amount at the moment, but will not use all of it because that is contingent on double full-time employment.Somehow managed to look at three properties in December, only had four days off, all of which ended up requiring cash buys due to disrepair, estate sales, foreclosure.Currently networking for hard money, private financing, while continuing 65-80% savings rate.Will reduce my days of work, get some ski days in the winter and mountain bike when its warmer.
