We have been listening to the BP podcasts and as he is retiring from the military soon we are excited about getting into investing (Mainly buying and renting out, we think for now).

Do you want to retire with a lump sum or monthly cash flow?

It's retirement oriented but very close to Lake Conroe and now the new Margaritaville which is about 20 minutes from here in the Walden area.

(and it looks to have been pretty late when he was posting too)The key difference between an IRA and a 401(k) is the nature of the underlying retirement plan.  

I also work for UPS, I've been with them for 18 years (military leave), and approaching 25 years I can retire from UPS and would like to.

I networked with an retired army officer we runs a property management company out your way.

I don't think anyone is negative in the buy hold model on this site.. there is a perception that goes around the US that anyone can wholesale IE broker real estate without a license and retire young..

If you have a retirement plan, you may be able to borrow against it, at least 50% of its vested value, and without penalties, where slowly pay back yourself.

Looking for retirement planning options.

Hello BP Team,Throughout my decade long Military career I've seen dozens of friends unwillingly forced into the role of landlord or end up writing a check for thousands of dollars, $12,000 in one scenario, to sell their primary residence after they completed their service (ETS), retirement, or forced to move out of state (PCS)?
