My particular case is that I am sick of traveling for my job and missing out on my children growing up.

My goal is to continue to grow our rental property portfolio so my wife and I can retire early, travel and spend time with our family.

I've actually got a real estate license here in Texas (Home Team of America) that I only use for my personal investments and to help out friends/family.I'm wide open to meet folks, add value to the conversation where I can, and soak up information like a sponge.I'd love to chat/network with other investors in SA who're actually doing deals (not kicking the tires).

Reaching new heights in space travel and exploration.

However, there will come a time when self management may not be possible because it simply takes up too much time  - time which you could be using to invest in more rental properties, spend time with family or travel.

We've stayed in Hurricane and in Springdale before and I much prefer the former (as a traveler).

After buying - by chance - a 'high cash-flow' apartment as first property in Malta, my husband and I realised that Real Estate Investing could help us reach our goals: financial, geographical & time freedom.We are already working online, allowing us to travel frequently for long periods of time.

Ask if there have been any big (500+) job announcements recently.And for me personally, invest in an area you actually enjoy traveling to (for me that's a place without cold harsh winters).

Food and traveling are the two most important parts of my life!  

I'm thinking about what moves to make in the near future and thought I'd ask for thoughts from anyone who's traveled my path before.
