.- Most recent 2 months of bank statements outside of CBNA- Most recent retirement/ investment/ life insurance statement, if applicable.Is this an insane amount of paper? 

@Richard Benjamin Wilhite I'm actually retired Navy, and I've lived in Suffolk since 2009. 

I can tell you what people here have done to set themselves up for retirement.

You can either send in capital you've saved in a highly accessible account or you can invest using your retirement savings.Wire Liquid FundsIf you've saved your investment capital in a highly-accessible, highly liquid savings or other bank account, you can simply wire the entire investment amount to the sponsor, according to the instructions provided in the investment documentation.

My wife and I are looking into short-term rentals on the mainland near Athens as our long-term retirement strategy.

As my wife and I are both over 45, we require a distinct approach to ensure we can retire within the next 10-15 years without having to work, particularly in physically demanding jobs, until our final days.

Hi all, I'm new to the forums and open to feedback/advice on building/investing in Western NC.Some background on me, I've Lived-In rehabbed and made decent returns on 8 houses (lost most of it in a old divorce so in the middle of a restart to try to actually retire in the next 10-15 yrs).

If we want properties to cash flow to help build some retirement and possibly find a retirement in 8 years ( meaning, quitting our 9-5 in 8 years), is it too late? 

Ideally, my buyers are fully employed and financially liquid foreigners - be it from the US, the UK, central and northern Europe - either a single person or a couple with 0-1 kids, looking to live there right now, rent it out as an investment and then sell it, or use it as a future base for retirement.

In another 20 years that home could be paying for your retirement and worth $3 million.
