However I was not told that retirement assets are typically used to cover the 6 months of costs, which I easily have in my 401k.

Current profile:Age 33, single, no children, full time employee w/ annual salary of 49K, 403B Retirement Account of a little over 45K (as of today), Money Market Account of 30K. 700+ credit scores across the board.

Am beginning the offer process with a retired seller and want to give him this summary so he can understand seller financing benefits (not incur one time gain on his non owner occ units in his 3fam; receive interest and not have to find somewhere to place his money).

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.
