That particular family, it turns out, owns a bunch of rental property and is looking to get out due to retirement etc.How does one handle buying property from those you know?

The other is an older gentleman who just wants to retire and cruise the country in an RV (the quintessential American retiree dream!)

Though this property will not allow me to retire comfortably and never work again, it's certainly not going to bankrupt me, either.

It all happened because my mother was retiring about 12 years ago and was not going to have enough to live on in retirement.

He has been fantastic- we have some great retirement investments and are 200% better saving for the future now than before.Only issue- he has been dead-set against any real estate investing.

I have a good business now and not looking to retire on rei cashflow.

My current strategy is to buy and hold for long-term residual income to augment retirement, or perhaps become a full-time investor much sooner - should I progress quickly enough.

I'm only 32, so I should have plenty of time to grow that into an early retirement.

I can't stand when gurus put titles like 5K in 30 days or 1M in 1 year or retire a billionaire in 10 years.

Another one is when the only realtor who will show you the property onsite is a retired marine carrying a Glock.
