As a consequence I am now focused on investing to create long-term value and, if possible, trying to retire early or at least transition from working for a big company to working for myself.

Investment is considered to be the only way of securing your future, especially your post retirement life; however choosing the right investment option that will give you a better return as compared to other available options is a daunting task.

I have a full time job and am investing for retirement.

I'm a current active duty Air Force member who has 14 years left before I retire.

I am currently in the Federal Law Enforcement arena as my day job but have goals of retiring early and providing a certain lifestyle for my family.

Longer term, I'd like to take all my equity & 1031 it into an apartment complex (s) or some other cash flowing properties & take an early retirement. :)Of course, all that may change as circumstances change, but if you're gonna dream, you might as well dream big!

Our goal is to retire at 44 with a navy pension if all goes well.

Hey,

I'm curious if anyone has leveraged an ERSA account as a downpayment on an investment property? A buddy of mine recently did this, and I'm curious about the tax implications?

I have an retired attorney friend (not a paid attorney) who actually owns some rental properties (along with a partner) and according to him he doe4sn't have an LLC or partnership and doesn't see that I have a need (for an LLC) with the wholesaling.
