If a vehicle drove through your house and accidentally killed a tenant's pet in the process, the only thing you should be focused on is working with insurance to get your house built back to what it was pre-accident.

I'll also add that my husband and I are self-employed (last 1.5 years) so partnerships vs. loan vehicles are probably the better bet for us at this juncture.Thank you!

I think before you spend the next decade working your tail off, you might give more consideration to precisely what you'll do with all the time and extra mental capacity you'll have by not worrying about money. 

While I am aggressively contributing to my 401k and other market oriented investment vehicles, I have long thought of real estate as the second but equally necessary pillar in achieving my ambitions as it will provide ongoing cash flow as I work toward leaving my corporate position.This being said, my interests in real estate are focused on buy and hold, residential properties, largely investigating SFR but I do not exclude the option of small multifamily should an opportunity present itself.At the moment I am working toward saving capital as aggressively as possible, although for my comfort levels am probably another 12-18 months from having the capital I desire to get started, which I am comfortable with. 

You can also use leverage in the form of non-recourse loans to accelerate the growth of your IRA.If you understand real estate, you can definitely out-perform conventional financial product investing with one of these vehicles.

While it’s not following BRRRR precisely, I think it’s a great plan!

Steve,You are describing the precise niche i work in.

I may have inferred the meaning of that statement incorrectly.Or you may be correct in which case my opinion would be aligned with yours that getting out all together not such a great idea as real estate is the best investment vehicle in my book, hands down.

HOWEVER, when we realized that this could be a great long term investment vehicle we jumped right in.
