Using the training that KW provides and going out and earning Master Degree level salary at a young age should accelerate your investing to where you could retire in your 30's!

I am using rental properties as part of my retirement strategy so I too see the benefit

. • Stable or growing job market - Rental property profitability is dependent on a stable job market.

We invest for the long term with the hopes of early retirement in 15 years.  

You pay that down enough and have some stable history of rental income on the new property, you should be able to refi your residence and pull equity out to buy yet another property...lather, rinse, repeat? 

I look for partner splits, health issues, divorce, owner wants to retire, owner needs to focus attention on larger properties they own not doing well, death, etc.The business is established a long time and the good price is coming from the sellers need and NOT that the business isn't sound or it's taking a dive.

We invest for the long term as our goals are for early retirement with a military pention. 

Being in my early 50s and having saved using only a standard 401k, I have always realized that it will not be enough for a reasonable, normal retirement.

How stable is the managing agent and the board?

Is it stable?
