Can I really retire in 5 years?

My Dad had retired and moved across the country, so he was not hands on.

Last week a retired 71 year old man called me and offered me a 2002 Dodge Ram with 105000 miles, and only he owned the truck, along with a cashiers check that would have paid all but 10k of the truck off.

Buy before you get out, so you dont have to establish a whole other job with the VA.Congrats on Retirement, and Welcome.

My goals are to invest in single family residential properties to rent out so I can increase my cash flow, suppliment my retirement and achieve a certain level of lifestyle to enjoy with my family.  

My husband is retired Military and works in Clearwater Fl. and we can't find a place to live.

Hi BP,I'm looking to get into real estate full time in the future (after my military retirement). 

Also, can they use their retirement accounts?

@Alonzo GarzaAs others have mentioned, yes it is possible to combine retirement funds with your spouse's retirement funds for investment purposes.

I'm working in Kuwait and have a few buddies here who retired in Fort Hood and made it home.
