I know many people that have suffered big losses recently, but I also know many people that have enjoyed big successes in Dubai real estate. 

I really enjoyed your podcast episode! 

What RichDad does not tell you is that it takes a driven personality to build a portfolio and if you have that type of personality you will not enjoy a retired state.

I purchased both as a package and for the next six years enjoyed great cash flow as I paid the tax on the house lot annually at about half of what it should have been and neglected to pay anything on the tennis court lot.  

You also have expenses that are $10,000/month, you have $0 left to invest, donate, enjoy (not good).

That may be a little too aggressive but I do enjoy landlord friendly states as opposed to the tenant friendly ones.

Your equity can provide the funds to make those improvements happen, increasing your home’s value and making it more enjoyable to live in too.Getting a Business GoingIf you’ve been dreaming about starting your own business, your equity could be the kickstart you need.

My former journalist self enjoys digging into Colorado laws and counseling my clients on where they can do short-term rentals and under what circumstances.

I have no social sphere or contacts family or friends in Oregon (I don’t know anyone besides my fiancée).Goals: continue to have flexible schedule while enjoying what I do (selling real estate) and making good money.

You'll need to really look at yourself and understand what you do well and enjoy, at the end of the day if you enjoy what you do you'll have more drive be successful everyday.
