I have explored this idea in the Caribbean and South America a few times and never pulled the trigger as it was too much headache. 

I’m interested in exploring that route.

One approach to building the capital needed for investment is to explore lending out of your IRA.

An ADU is an Accessory Dwelling Unit -- specifically, a garage or other structure converted into a living space like a studio apartment.Houses can have one ADU and small multifamily property can have two ADUs (and more under certain circumstances).Here's an example deal, one I was exploring with a client recently:https://www.redfin.com/CA/Los-Angeles/624-N-Evergreen-Ave-90...This fourplex has two large garages, each of which can be converted into a studio apartment collecting $1600/month in rent (with plenty of off-street parking still available for tenants).

The Chrome browsers of the other 14% visitors told Google that visitors started exploring your website after it had fully loaded.

Exploring Oxford Houses or other group home options is a fantastic idea – always good to think outside the box!

Thanks for those kind shout outs @Gino Barbaro and @Benjamin Aaker, ya know @Gabe Capoferri another middle ground kind of approach might be worth exploring as well. 

I'm also exploring multi-family and student projects in Upstate, NYC.

It could be a great way to learn and explore together.

If I may, what kind of investments are you and your husband exploring to get started?
