He is retired, can't pay his bills.

Ive been working/managing for a large retail company for the last 22 years, looking forward to transitioning out of the corporate world over the next 10 years to enjoy an early retirement...hopefully. 

Hi all,I've been lurking around for a bit and have found some very helpful people so far. I live in the Greenville, SC and moved here for work. Currently I have a SFR (my former residence) rented out for a healthy pro...

I prefer lower risk investments in my retirement accounts, vs rentals.

My wife and I are interested in supplementing our retirement accounts for that time 10-15 years down the road; plus we want to be able to finance our grandchildren's college educations.She is an accountant with a governmental tourism entity; and I am an IT worker for a large private retail company.

@Kevin KimSince you are looking to invest in an investment property consider using personal and retirement funds to do so.

Girlfriend who wants to get married, promotion to a different city, parents retiring in another state, etc.

When they're paid off it can be a retirement.
