My only plan when I started this was to earn a better return than anywhere else by using my comparative advantages (high knowledge of construction, DIY abilities, intimate knowledge of my geography, location in a cheap but growing area) to affect my return in a way that was impossible in other arenas.

Yes I plan to get with the city but trying educate myself to go in prepared.

The pension amount at age 39 is not enough for me to feel comfortable, so my long-term plans are to start a small business and invest in real estate to position myself where I don't even need my pension, and it's just a bonus.

I had planned to use some of this as reserve.

Anything is possible if your'e open to learn.My comment was about the specific scenario in the original post.I love creative finance.

Hi Folks, I scoured the boards but could not find previous posts specific to this issue . . .

I am in Missouri right now staying in cheap hotels for work, I got out here a month or two ago and the plan has been to buy a property, preferably a duplex.I did pretty well selling solar last year and have saved up some cash to use as a downpayment for the first property.

Whether to buy now or wait hinges on what you're okay with, how you see risks, and what you plan to do.Good luck!

It seems like you're planning things out smartly to succeed.
