Seems to me that many people who have achieved FIRE got there by maxing out their tax advantaged retirement accounts and then use the 4% rule to live off their nest egg.

They are cheap and better than having a rats nest in your walls.

Nest of luck to you too!

If you want a little nest egg with lower risk you might consider paying off a property at a time and building a portfolio that way.

On the lease we specify they signup for automated digital payement but believe nest egg can send reminders if the tenats are lateWhat i am confused on is :I know there may be questions from new or existing tenants asking where does garbage go or maybe they have noise conplaints from neighbors but id gather one of these softwares has a section for your tenants to find common questions and answers or maybe I just provide that info to the NestEgg folks and they relay that infoI like the rentals to be as passive as possible BUT i also like and dont mind to answer in depth questions the management software company may have and dont mind talking or researching for hours or days( if thats what it takes) with my construction vendors ,whom i am good friends with.

This costs thousands of dollars and lenders have no interest in gambling that a judge will rule in favor of a big bank over a a family of four who lost their home and probably nest egg.

Many of the additional retirements are probably laid-off workers who are claiming Social Security early, despite reduced benefits, because they are under immediate financial pressure, Goss and other analysts believe.The numbers upend expectations that older Americans who sustained financial losses in the recession would work longer to rebuild their nest eggs.

Most of all congratulations on the saving nest egg, not many in the US have the discipline to do that.

I'm glad I did it to build a nice nest egg, but wish I had some more assets that were available to use.The Insurance and Primary Home equity are really the only assets I see as useable (my understanding, at least from the banker I am working with, is that retirement assets cant be assigned).Dan Dietz

There were no Owls in my beard but there was a thrasher nest, which are more common here in Georgia.
