Problem is they would also have to live here, pay rent, buy food and health care..

Be careful of the brokers on here, Whole life has always been a scam and you will never find someone who cares more about your money than you do.

Healthcare I am bearish on the entire sector. 

I’m here to absorb as much as I can, connect with like-minded people, and start laying a solid pathway toward financial independence.Right now, I’m focusing on:Understanding buy-and-hold rental strategies.Learning how to evaluate deals and run the numbers confidently.Building a long-term plan that’s stable, realistic, and sustainable.I’m not rushing into anything — I’m here to learn the right way, build relationships, and avoid the mistakes beginners often make.A little about me:I care deeply about creating stability for my family and friends.I’m working on becoming more disciplined and confident with real estate investing and budgeting.I appreciate communities where people share honestly about what works and what doesn’t when getting started.I’m looking forward to:Connecting with others who can share their experience starting from scratch.Hearing your stories about your first deals, successful or not.Learning how you built confidence to take action.Understanding which strategies worked for you in the early stages.Possibly working with a mentor who can assist me in my first deal.Thank you all for the knowledge you share, the transparency, and the community.

I am getting a lot of colleague request where the person does not have anything on their profile and some don’t even have any post plus they don’t even care enough to send a short message.

Without knowing the total picture (goals, income needs, tax bracket, heirs, health and so on) the seller could put together a properly structured long term lease option, that should do the trick.

Would love to hear more about:-How you navigate IL licensing/zoning for smaller homes-Your staffing model + care levels (memory care?)

That said, it really takes careful tax planning with a CPA to be certain and make sure the timing works out.

All my properties will be LTR I don't care to much for cashflow it would be nice but its highly unlikely in my area .

. 😊🙏🏼 I am concerned for your financial health:- I believe RE is more challenging than in recent times.- I believe the highest cash flow markets have the highest risk.- I fear a rushed purchase has additional risk.- make sure you have a good 1031 intermediary.- I believe the local market is challenging, especially with your goal of immediate cash flow, and not local (out of state) is higher risk and effort.Where is your current property that you are selling located?
