At that time you could establish a self-directed IRA and invest that tax sheltered money into additional rental properties. 

I'll soon be able to pull some cash out of my 401k and I would love to invest it in real estate (out of state turn key through self directed IRA).

I have about 70k in self directed Roth IRA.

If a Roth IRA distribution is qualified, all distributed assets are tax-free.

Other kinds of income; including income from rental properties, lawsuit payments, inheritances, pensions, investment dividends, IRA distributions and interest; will not cause benefits to be reduced.http://www.aarp.org/work/social-security/question-...Rental income you receive from real estate does not count for Social Security purposes unless: A.

Hello - I'm setting up an IRA/LLC, and I have my money transferred to a custodian (IRA Services Trust Company), I have setup a few llc's before so I'm doing this part myself.  

I am married filing jointly & will have gross income for 2017 between 90-100k, but with 401k and IRA contributions could get the AGI down below 60-70k. 

I have been at another forum writing about "creative financing" at the Creative Financing Forum.Here is the intro:It is the spring and I thought I would give a primer on "creative financing" for the BP community.I will break it up into Beginner and Advanced.I will talk about well known and not so well known strategies.Beginner strategies includes bank financing, hard money and private lender financing, as well as installment sales, land contracts, lease options to buy-control, sub2, land trusts, option to purchase flipping, sale and purchase contract flipping, wrap around mortgage-AITD purchases, self-directed IRAs, Joint Venture Partnerships w LLCs, and others.Advanced strategies include JVs with Sellers, pooling private funds, syndications and more.Lastly some legal issues regarding Dodd Frank, CFPB regulation, illegal flipping, and other issues.I will visit this post page every day for as long as it takes to go over these creative financing strategy issues.Brian link = https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/50/topics/438...RE Lease Options, I'll post here: Buying on Lease w Option, Selling on Lease w OptionLease Option Assignments (aka Wholesaling Lease Options or Cooperative Lease Options), Sandwich Lease Options, Splitting Equity Lease Purchase, Delayed Sale and Purchase Agreements,Using ROFRs or Right of First Refusals with Leases, Master Lease Options on Small Apartment Buildings, and more.Also I will talk about - regulatory and legal issues such as the CFPB and Dodd Frank, - liability of acting without a real estate sales license, - problems with asking the tenant to do maintenance and repairs, - and more.I will post to this thread every day until these subjects are covered.

But, the last few years, the idea of passive income has become what I think about most throughout each day and investing in my IRA and TSP just isn't enough anymore.

(If you take BRS and then don't take the max TSP matching you are flat kicking your own tail.)If you really want to stomp retirement, take the high 3, but between your military retirement and actual retirement invest 20% of your military pension (the difference between high 3 and BRS) into an IRA (self-directed into R/E if that is 'your thing').
