We've worked with bunches of military folks just like you who have moved their portfolios with them to each posting and then to their final destination after retiring - all tax free. 

I'm looking for someone to help with financial/retirement planning who is experienced with retirement portfolios that consist of real estate along with traditional vehicles such as 401Ks/IRAs.

75M "Boomers" are going to retire before 2030 and collectively hold 70 Trillion in assetsSo what should you do to capitalize on this demographic trend?

My parents just built a custom house to retire in and I saw first hand some of the headaches they had to deal with.

I'd love to hear some feedback because at the end of the day, at age 54, I'm looking for some avenue for being able to retire without starving in 10 or so years.  

Not willing to touch existing retirement accounts/index funds/HSA etc. 

Am I ever able to "use" that money personally or does it follow the same early withdrawal rules as any other retirement account? 

In the early 20th century, families typically spent their time together on the first floor and rarely retired to their bedrooms for anything but sleep.

If you are disciplined you could probably "retire" by 35 or 40 and travel all you want not having to worry about money because you acquired enough properties early on to facilitate this life style. 

If it worked the people would not be selling it and instead would be doing it, retired, and living on a beach, in a mansion, or on a yacht somewhere not trying to get $10-$50k out of you to teach you how to do it!
