Purchase price: $225,000 Purchased new home in 2013, deployed in 2017 and rented it out for a year and a half.

I own half a note (First Trust Deed) with a partner.

Next best is who would leave easiest. 

I can schedule a meeting with my CPA at just about anytime (without all those extra nitpicking fees) and throughout an hour call we'll just discuss random laws, taxes, experiences, etc for half the time while still making sure business is discussed and we take care of what's needed. 

Its what I did to buy and house hack my first property, which is definitely the easiest way to get started in my opinion.Best of luck on the move!

A 15 year morgage on a property will mean I own it (well half of it) by 42 years old.

My current portfolio consists of 10 Short-term rentals and 10 long-term rentals that generate $40k a month in gross rent and about $20k in net profit (roughly half).  

(New PA law requires Ten years if the property is less than a half acre -see the affect of PA house Bill #352 lowering Quiet Title times via Adverse Possession to ten years for some PA residences.)  

The fact that they are easiest to sell, tend to appreciate the quickest, and can also serve as a place for you and your family to live are all bonuses. 

My Question is how should he go about taking the money out of his TSP, he is concerned that a withdrawal would add to the taxes he has to pay now, he could wait to withdraw till he retires in 5 years and is in a lesser tax bracket, because he will be earning about half of his current income once he is retired.What would you suggest the arrangement should be with someone bringing money to the deal?
