Hello everyone, I'm very interested to hear your opinions on how I should handle this situation.I have been investing in buy/hold SFRs and 4 plexes for about 12 years now and my retired father (he's 72 years old) would like to invest in some properties with me, 50/50.  

This sales job has a specified niche (negotiated priced group benefits for retired teachers) and it comes with a script along with leads.

So we switch jobs easily, and believe life is more than, working 40 years, retiring for 10 and then dropping dead.We want a work/life balance.

Modular homes are still in a too risky asset class.As far as converting a land deed + mobile home title (personal property) I know GA has a process for retiring the MH title so the home + land are now real property.  

My intent is to use this portfolio to accelerate my retirement horizon and develop a secondary stream of income that's less dependent on my physical time.  

I am a pre-retire age female, who really needs to step up and make something happen for myself within the next 5 years. 

I know that's generally considered a bad idea, but I don't plan on relying on my 401k for retirement anyway.

(creating a new market of commuters that buy and rent) and finally, Athens has been named one of the top cities in America to retire so we are having a lot of people move back after retiring.  

If you can produce better results through investments in property or private lending, then you can grow a nice big pile of retirement savings in a tax-deferred environment.  

Okay  - I'm seeking input from some seasoned / battle hardened real estate investors about my next investment move.Here is a synopsis of our circumstances and what my goal is:  1: I am unemployed (semi-retired or you might say fully depreciated in my industry;-), but I continue to look for work. 2: I have a strong operations background and know how to determine whether I can turn a profit on an investment 3: I have a respectable amount of capital available for the right investment 4: I am not afraid to micro manage an investment project5: Perfect world I would like to "net" a minimum of $2500 per month within the next 10-12 months and would like to continue increasing that amount through further investing6: Any return on my investment "must" give me a minimum of a 10% return on my investment.7: I am pre approved to finance up to $200K Some personal notes: My son has a mild disability and is our greatest concern.
