Our goal is to achieve early retirement through our rentals and other income.

Currently active duty military with plans on retirement/transition from service very soon.

Let's be more complete on the subject.The OBJECTIVE is to keep seniors in their homes as long as they live in it.there's an appraisal to determine present equitythat equity is then made available to the home owner(HO) in multiple ways;HELOC style account which the HO can draw upon at willmonthly payments to the HOall cash lump sum distributionAll existing mortgages are paid off at COE, so the HO never pays out for a mortgage.Property Taxes & Insurance are still the responsibility to be paid by the HO.and there's an annual certification that at least one person is still resident.There are no changes when the fist mate demises, but upon the demise of the second, the Reverse Mortgage is due and payable AND, due to accumulate yet unpaid interest, the payoff can easily be greater than the face value of the initial Reverse Loan.If the last mate is relocated into a retirement 24/7 care facility, this triggers the end of the RM and the note is due per the above.Some times the family would like to claim the home, and if they can pay the payoff value, they can do so. 

I stopped investing into my 401k since I plan on using my income to pay for additional properties to fund my retirement. 

Hello BP community,I recently checked out Rent to Retirement after hearing their ad on BP's podcast.

A way to save more tax is through a self directed retirement plan. 

When I retired from service, I went through Disabled American Vets and they walked me through the whole process. 

@Tracy SpencerWhat Kyle is suggesting is creating a management company for his own personal investments and not those held in a retirement account.

My profile is incomplete but I'm a journalist hoping to retire in 4 years or less by investing in real estate. 

I have invested countless hours into deciding my goals and figuring out my real purpose for making REI my career -- retiring my parents.
