How to retire within 5 years?

[Dean Panagiotopoulos]

Do you think it is easier to retire with 2 paid off properties? One brings you the income and the other one you live in or buying multiple rental properties better to retire early?

Depends on the individual investor, their current age, etc.

Someone's idea of retirement might be living on 30k a year and traveling the world on a shoe string budget. Another might be a lifestyle of living that requires 200k a year to be comfortable with passive income going up each year to account for inflation.

It varies across the board. I have talked with thousands of investors over the years and they all have a different idea of the ideal life and way of living to them.
