After five years, he has invested $85k of his hard-earned cash (rent money) in Investor D's retirement plan.

I don't have grand delusions about starting with nothing and retiring in 3 years because I struck some magical deal.

The other sister is a retired Corporate Tax Attorney that taught Corp Law at Yale when she did retire and now lives in a YURT  in Northern Vermont " GO FIGURE " !!!   

We did some successful flips a few years ago -- got out right before the crash -- but are thinking about a buy and hold strategy as a way to retire out of a demanding career.

If you can afford to keep the rental then you are already 1 home into a portfolio for retirement.  

This strategy may generate substantially less of a profit, but it can be a quick turnaround.So these were my three exit strategies prior to finalizing the deal, then I recently got the bad news that the dental office has vacated due to retirement.

I plan on taking my career to retirement from the military but what's going to keep me going well into that retirement is my investing.

My goals are to build a supplemental retirement income for my husband and I (we are a little bit behind) and to build an income producing career for myself so that my husband can pursue an alternative career and leave his $140000 yr job without much of a change in living standards.

The owners of the firm are retiring and we got sick of subarctic weather so moved to OR. 

I'm 64, plan was to retire in 6 yrs.
