I’m also a government employee and have used a loan ($50k) to cover the rehab of a property.I don’t see it as an all in thing, as a fed, you are working towards a pension, social security, still putting in 10% into a 401k (with employer match)  and have a regular w2 income as long as you want to hang around.

Having worked as a Location Scout/Manager for the past 20 years, I bring my production experience to my new role of Real Estate Investor.
