My plan is to build passive income over the next ten years by scaling a real estate portfolio that I can manage once retired.

In this case there seems to be missing income/expenses(living expenses) not discussed?

I prefer multi family because they offer multiple income streams, usually higher rent per square foot compared to single-family homes, and are more likely to appreciate over time due to inflation and rent increases.I would recommend Columbus, Ohio.

If your wife can qualify for REPS, that would help tremendously since you are a high income earner.

What do you show for income on your IRS returns?

Its been decades, but back then I thought TurboTax was only good for somebody just reporting there income in the same state. 

On my long time STR, occupancy (70%) and income is down.  

Retirement 2.0 allows you to slowly replace your active income (from working your job) with passive income (that you make while you sleep), so that you get to live the life you’ve always wanted, while your kids are still young, and while you’ve still got your health.And not only that, Retirement 2.0 allows you to create an engine for ongoing income and wealth accumulation, so that, regardless of what you do, you’re generating income for your family.

I have good income and minimal debt.

Assuming I could qualify financially (primary income plus FHA allowed rental income contribution from additional leased units), when I become the owner of the property, would that prevent me from using a FHA 203b to house hack a second property?
