Take the example of Puerto Vallarta, which has been a popular vacation and retirement place for foreigners for decades.

I’m 42 so retirement is still a ways off..

The way I look at it is IF I already have a lot of funds in my retirement accounts, should I NOT invest it in what will make me the best return with the lowest risk?

A lot of investors with great day jobs or retirements realize they can make as much or more money passively as they could if they were doing it full-time.

As Jeff said above, the first one won't make you a millionaire, and won't let you retire.

I also obtained funds from my parents retirement account for rehabilitating the property.

For instance here you can look at properties on Bigger Pockets site..but then on posts there's advertisments for Rent To Retirement, and AirDNA..then there is Norada.

But I would do them both again if I had it to do over again Retired at 48 long before any of my well degreed relatives and friends But I still think you should get your 2 year degree and then maybe go on for another 2 years    You can always do real estate at the same time 

So here’s a rookie question of purchasing a turnkey property say from rent to retirement can you still refi to purchase another property hope I’m wording it properly.

Retirement planning, college planning, charitable planning, etc.If an advisor is only managing investments, 1-1.5% is high.
