(My health has also prevented me from attending since-and they know this.)

No matter how great the property manager is, if there is only one, a car accident, health problems, family emergencies, etc., doesn't just hurt them, but all their clients as well.

i have 17 years left on the loan so i had a lot of principal paydown each month. i run slightly into my pocket to pay the repairs/maintenance each month.the kicker was the new house we bought, our quality of life went thru the roof...less commute, triple the space, new home. and an exact house 5 doors down appaised $20k more than our purchase price 6 months later.

However, I felt like I was trying to reinvent the wheel with a complicated system so it made my life easier to hear that type of proposal.

You don't need a life plan yet.

Perhaps mold you saw actually caused a health problem and city officials declared it unfit for human habitation due to that.

Changed my life!

Based on that return, when I start taking income in retirement, instead of $x that I would have had from the pension (at the 5% implied investment rate), I will now be able to receive something like $3x to $4x in distributions from my solo K at retirement.Additionally, the typical pension benefit in retirement is based on your life expectancy.

Also, it is nice to have other skills and be marketable in another field in case you decide real estate is not what you want to do with your life.

What a life saver.
