On the other hand, maybe you are going to lose some personal income due to retirement and want the cash flow.

When we moved, we turned it into a rental, hoping this would be the start of our real estate journey—something we’d like to continue once my husband retires.Some key details:My husband is active duty and will retire in 3 years.We have one final move coming up this summer to Raleigh, NC.Our current debts are crippling us—the high interest makes it tough to stay afloat every month.The plan I proposed to my husband:Sell the rental property.Use the proceeds to pay off all our debts, set aside emergency funds and a down payment for our next home.Free up $1,500/month from debt payments, and that also can stash in a high-yield savings account.Regain full VA loan entitlement, allowing us to purchase a multifamily home and use the house hacking strategy for up coming move.Avoid capital gains tax, since April marks five years of ownership, and the tenant’s lease ends in May.This wasn’t our original plan, and we hate the idea of using our equity to pay off debt.

Upon contacting Rent to Retirement, we were told by the rep that Delta "cut off" communication with Rent to Retirement and if we choose to continue with Delta Build, we will have to resolve issues with them ourselves as Rent to Retirement can no longer speak on our behalf.

Hope to spend more time here in retirement.

@Nichole StohlerI find using a SDIRA to be a great tool for passive investments and growing your retirement with less stress than the stock market roller coaster. 

https://www.sensefinancial.comYou don't need a tax attorney or a CPA to set one up - just the plan administrator/custodian.You do need a CPA who specializes in self directed retirement accounts to make sure you are complying with UBIT and UDFI rules. 

They won't always be upfront about this with you but if know they're selling because they want to retire, that opens you up to different options vs if they're an investor just selling for profit.

I am researching my first deal in town (a foreclosure), and hoping to slowly but surely acquire properties for cash flow and retirement security. 

Additionally, another neighbor who owns an adjacent parcel has expressed interest in joining the project, contributing their land to the development as well.I believe this could be a great opportunity for all of us, especially as a unique retirement plan for my family and my neighbors.
