But if its not Health care related your going to pay the tax.

@Matt Rosas,Mexico has an excellent health care system.

This is a stable market, due to its robust healthcare and aerospace industries, with great long-term potential.Charlotte: Now in EXPANSION; 36 to 48 months from a peak.

I'm ex-Navy electronics tech (yikes, like 12 years ago) and am currently a full-time Healthcare professional and part-time rental property owner...only one property at the moment.  

A major key in that market is the new hospital and dentistry school.

For example, there is a new 3.8% Medicare tax on unearned income - from the new Obamacare (healthcare) law.

• Properties allowed include day care, gas station, health care, restaurant, RV park and unflagged hospitality.

I would probably take the million in 401k:) direct some of that to rentals and senior healthcare reits with triple net strategies.

But lots of unknowns in the future with healthcare, kids, how expenses really change without a 9-5.On track to hit $1MM net worth, that is the current most compelling goal.As far as number of units, I'd like to think that our portfolio will be completely different in 15-20 years, with fewer higher quality units, so hard to speculate on that.

And I've been in home health care and it's been my 20 yrs experience that many people out there do not ever start thinking about retirement or saving for it, much to their detriment.
