I am a current teacher (middle school math, Boston) I will retire in about 4-6 years. I want to start my journey now so I am ready to commit full time when I retire. My Goals?

  1. 1. Purchase a rental property that pays for itself so each of my children can inherit a house. (my current home will be paid of in 2 years)
  2. 2. Flip houses or Income properties to fund lavish vacations / gifts and to help children pay off college loans.
  3. 3. Show my children the value of self wealth management.

    Those are fantastic goals! It definitely helps scaling in real estate to have healthy cash reserves and a good understanding and respect for leverage.  Market knowledge is critical as well as the ability to analyze and execute on a good deal.  Wish you the best on your goals and hope you crush them!

    Hi Erik,

    Those are great goals!  I'd love to connect.  I am a real estate attorney and investor in MA, RI, CT, and FL.  We own a couple of multis and we also do some private lending.

    @Erik Hess Those are amazing goals! Love that you're showing your children the potential of building wealth through real estate. I see that you're from Boston---I'm from NH. Is there a particular market you're trying to invest in?
