But my goal is to retire through real estate investing and I believe the next step would be house hacking a multifamily.The tricky part is that I would like to stay in LA ...and because I'm not working a 9 to 5, I dont think I would qualify for an FHA and a 203K loan.

.- In some traditional retirement communities, including in Arizona and Florida, that number could reach nearly two-thirds.

But as someone who has been saving and has a stable career, I am excited for the opportunities that will come from this because I’m sure there will be plenty of great opportunities to make some good money.

Doable in certain pockets where price are stable and or only go up..Given the volatility of the market at the moment you may have to hang on a bit longer to have enough meat on the bone to refi and get a substantial amount of capital back..There are still deals out there that are 90% of peak Feb-March.

Meanwhile, my 78-year-old retired doctor tenant with Dropped Head Syndrome (DHS) can't possibly work or even drive a car or look someone in the eye and she's living in a tiny one-bedroom apartment and HUD keeps cutting her benefits even though her income continues to go down.I have a lot of things to say about HUD but non-judgmental isn't my thing.

I want to retire on my terms unlike many older riders I see still forced to ride even though there bodies are not cut out for it any longer .And I'm tired of seeing my young daughters cry every time dady has to leave home for sometimes months at a time.  

1) The landlord who also uses this money to pay their mortgage, car, food, shopping, etc it's recycled into the economy. 2) The mortgage servicers, these guys are like an insurance company for investors (your 401K, retirement funds, etc) so when the investor buys mortgages servicers guarantee payment of principal and interest, stop the payment they have to continue to pay this to the investors so they end up having no liquidity to recycle the money into the system.

People have assumed that medical and food industries are stable through this, but that is not the case.

Maybe time for a new platform to emerge out of this and Airbnb regulates themselves into retirement.  

Your job, your other investments, your plans for your family, college, retirement, health, age, and personal preference all affect what you should do.Personally, I'd be pulling the cash out to grow.
