Under is an e-mail transcript from a BiggerPockets Cash listener who despatched me a message about their private monetary scenario and wished my insights. We’ve used AI to edit the e-mail’s content material to be extra readable in an article format and take away delicate private data from the sender to guard their privateness.

Topic Line: Request & 72(t) Steering From a FIRE Couple

Hello Scott & Mindy:

I’m an enormous fan of the BiggerPockets Cash podcast and pay attention religiously. I particularly love the episodes that includes private tales and case research—they make it straightforward to narrate and examine my personal numbers to real-world examples.

I’ve a two-part request:

Would you think about doing a case examine on our monetary journey? My partner and I lately achieved monetary independence at ages 40 and 41 and are navigating this thrilling part—much less about planning for it and extra about determining what’s subsequent.

Might you dive deeper into the 72(t) possibility you talked about within the “middle-class entice” episode? We strongly determine with that idea and are wrestling with a few of its limitations.

Right here’s our scenario:

Ages: 40 and 41

No children

Labored in company America for practically 20 years, diligently saving and maxing out 401(ok)s

Retired 6 months in the past

Present web price: $2.7M (contains residence fairness, with plans to promote our major residence and lease one thing cheaper in a lower-cost space—at present close to a significant East Coast metropolis)

Breakdown: $1.4M in 401(ok)s, $1.1M in residence fairness (two properties, planning to promote each), $0.2M in money/high-yield financial savings

Annual bills: $100k (together with housing prices). Our authentic plan was to:

Stay off money for 2 to 3 years

Promote our rental property (it’s not worthwhile sufficient to maintain) and use the proceeds for one more two to 3 years.

Promote our major residence in about 5 years, relocate to a hotter, cheaper space, and stay off that money for 9 to 10 years, seemingly renting as an alternative of proudly owning

Finally, faucet into our 401(ok)s, hoping that in 14 to fifteen years, the $1.4M grows to $5M-6M

Our large query: Are we lacking one other choice to money movement our life-style with out relying so closely on promoting our major residence? We’ve explored concepts like 401(ok) loans (not potential since we’re not employed), refinancing our residence (difficult with out earnings), or tapping residence fairness through a HELOC (additionally robust with out earnings). We briefly thought-about 72(t) after listening to it on the present, however aren’t positive if it’s sensible or supplies sufficient money movement if we use only one or two accounts as an alternative of liquidating every part.

When you function us, please maintain us nameless—our family and friends don’t know we’ve hit FIRE, which is an entire different story we’d be pleased to discover!

Thanks for any insights or path you possibly can provide. Greatest,

[Anonymous]

Scott’s Response:

Howdy!

First off, thanks for being a loyal listener of the BiggerPockets Cash podcast—we’re thrilled to listen to how a lot you benefit from the case research! Your story is a improbable instance of non-public monetary success—congratulations on approaching practically $3M in private web price!

Your Present Plan: Stable However Closely Depends on Liquidating Belongings

Your technique—residing off money for a couple of years, then promoting the rental, then the first residence—is easy and leverages your belongings to create a money runway till your 401(ok)s are accessible at 59½ (or earlier, with some creativity).

Whereas downsizing and relocating to a lower-cost geography is a respectable and highly effective manner to make use of residence fairness, I consider that you’ll sleep significantly better at evening in case your portfolio generates a surplus of spendable liquidity that may finance your life-style after which some.

I consider that the central situation in your scenario is the truth that whereas the mathematics of FIRE (4%) rule theoretically lets you spend $108,000 per 12 months with $2.7M in web price, the fact is that you’ll have to liquidate belongings with a view to obtain that spend. In my expertise, solely clear outliers will truly really feel FIRE’d if their plan depends on drawdown and never on spending a minority of the money flows generated by their monetary portfolios.

This is why you might be exploring Rule 72(t). That, and the truth that you’ve a big pile of wealth in these accounts, probably way over you want. At a 7% annual return, that $1.4M in

401(ok)s may certainly develop to $5M-6M (in 2024 inflation-adjusted {dollars}) in 15 years, supplying you with a hefty cushion later in life.

Possibility 1: Dive Into Rule 72(t) With Eyes Broad Open

You talked about 72(t)—Considerably Equal Periodic Funds (SEPP)—and it’s price a more in-depth look. This IRS rule helps you to withdraw out of your 401(ok)s earlier than 59½ with out the ten% penalty, so long as you are taking constant funds for no less than 5 years or till you hit 59½, whichever is longer. For you, at 40/41, that’s a 19-year dedication, but it surely’s versatile in the way you set it up.

Utilizing the IRS’ amortization methodology (one among three calculation choices), even with a low rate of interest (say, 2.5%), your $1.4M may generate roughly $35K per 12 months if you happen to faucet the entire steadiness. Or, you could possibly think about non-public lending, debt funds, or different alternate options with a piece of that 401(ok) steadiness, say $400K, at an 8% most popular rate of interest, producing $30K per 12 months and permitting you to proceed reinvesting dividends in what I think about is prone to be a heavy-stocks 401(ok) steadiness.

Alternatively, you could possibly simply begin withdrawing from the 401(ok) utilizing Rule 72(t) on the 4% rule. Word, nevertheless, that there are quite a few historic instances the place the principal steadiness declines considerably in these situations over a 30-year interval.

Whilst you may all the time resume working and including again into the 401(ok), I’d personally be reluctant to go the entire manner towards making a tough decide to a 4% withdrawal price for the following 19 years.

Possibility 2: Rethink the Rental Property

You’re planning to promote your rental as a result of it’s “not making sufficient cash to maintain.” Earlier than you do, let’s crunch it. 

What’s the money movement at present? If it’s break-even or barely constructive, may you tweak it—elevate lease, minimize bills—to generate $500-$1,000/month? Even modest earnings stretches your money reserves and delays the necessity to promote. If it’s a loser, although, ditch it ahead of later—FIRE is about effectivity, not clinging to underperformers.

Alternatively, may you 1031 trade it right into a higher-performing property in your future low-cost space? It’s a option to defer taxes and reposition fairness into one thing that money flows higher, aligning together with your eventual transfer. Simply weigh the administration trouble—rental possession isn’t for everybody post-FIRE.

Final, you know the way a lot I like a paid-off rental property—correctly maintained and at an inexpensive cap price, it’s like an inflation-adjusted earnings for all times, even whether it is by no means really 100% passive.

Possibility 3: Unlock Residence Fairness With out Promoting

You’ve hit partitions with conventional loans—no earnings makes HELOCs or refinances difficult. However don’t surrender in your $1.1M in fairness but. 

Two concepts:

Flip your major right into a short-term rental: Associated, many HCOL areas have strict short-term rental legal guidelines. Is it potential that in your space, these are closely regulated, and robust to scale—completely benefitting your scenario? If you wish to journey a ton for the following 5 years and your metropolis lets you lease out your major residence as an STR as much as 25% of the 12 months, that might materially defray bills within the first 12 months or two of this journey.

Home hacking lite: Earlier than promoting, may you lease out a portion of your major residence (a basement, spare rooms) for a 12 months or two? In a high-cost space close to a significant metropolis, this might pull in $1,000-$2,000/month, shopping for you time and padding your money.

These aren’t slam dunks, however they’re artistic methods to faucet fairness with out a full sale.

Possibility 4: Lean Into Money Stream Investments

With $200k in money, you’ve received a warfare chest. Excessive-yield financial savings at 4%-5% yields

$8K-$10K/12 months—good, however not sufficient. 

Might you deploy some into dividend shares, REITs, or a small syndication deal (or, once more, one thing like a debt fund)? A conservative 6%-7% return on $200K is $12K-$14K yearly, stretching your runway with out touching straight owned and operated actual property or persevering with to dump it into 401(ok)s. Riskier? Positive. Nevertheless it’s seemingly rather a lot much less dangerous in 2025 (if you happen to do your homework) than it was in 2021.

Word that you just may also do that with the house fairness, must you select to promote it in 5 years.

My Take: Combine and Match for Flexibility

Right here’s what I’d rule out if I had been in your footwear:

Work out what method to distributing 1%-2% of your 401(ok) you might be most comfy with. You possibly can all the time begin small, with one smaller account, and layer in additional throughout different accounts over time (word that you may arrange 72(t) distributions from every IRA, however you possibly can’t do a couple of per account).

Rule out both paying off the rental or 1031 exchanging it to one thing that money flows.

Flip the home into an asset within the close to time period. Sure, it’s work. However, if it turns $500K in residence fairness into $30K-$40K in earnings within the subsequent 12 months at 25% of the time, isn’t it price it? How onerous are you guys working now to generate the earnings required to construct a portfolio like this at 40?

Park $100K of your money in a higher-yield possibility (REITs, dividends) for $6K-$7K/12 months.

If that is within the ballpark of cheap, that brings in $60K-$65K/12 months with out promoting your private home, leaving $35K-$40K to cowl from money reserves. You’d burn by way of $200K in 5 to 6 years—proper on monitor to your transfer to a sunnier/hotter spot—whereas conserving your private home fairness and half your 401(ok) rising.

Regulate the combo based mostly in your danger tolerance and the way hands-on you need to be.

Word For the FIRE Neighborhood

This couple’s story highlights a key FIRE lesson: Early retirement doesn’t imply “completed.” It’s a pivot—from incomes to optimizing. Whether or not it’s mastering 72(t), rethinking actual property, or dipping into money movement performs, the aim is flexibility.

Run your numbers, stress-test your plan, and don’t be afraid to tweak as you go.

This is additionally only one man’s preliminary ideas. Plans get higher, and main flaws are noticed after we crowdsource suggestions. Please present your ideas within the feedback to assist this couple out!
