I am 28 and want to easily be able to retire and move into real estate full time by age 40.For my latest refinance I lost about $250/m in cashflow with the higher payment.

Each of these employees along the production chain would see a big chunk of every paycheck taken for income taxes.The second plan would allow everyone to keep their entire paycheck or retirement check.

Then later I showed him a junker, sfh I am buying from another retiring landlord I know.

You couldn't retire on one million in a property?

(I work for a tech company in RTP)... but real estate investing will need to be part-time for me until I retire.

If you buy comparable properties with comparable terms your overall returns should be similar to owning the 2 places jointly.But you each get the benefits of owning investment real estate outside of your retirement accounts and none of the hassles of having it in there.

Historically by the time people are at retirement age, their primary residence is paid for and this allows them to live off less income than when they were working and had a mortgage.

Easy for me to say at my age since I don't expect to see any of that when I retire, or at least I am not planning on it.

I'm retired USCG and wish I had kept several of the houses we have owned over the years.

In 2015 I will retire from my 9-5 and plan to do real estate sales and investing full-time.My primary interest are acquiring single family homes, which I rent out.
