I then helped her parents through the process and the rentals enabled him to make the transition to retirement very comfortably.

I have come across a deal with an investor that is looking to retire.

Our goal is early retirement in 15 years so we can do what we want with no economic stressors!

Our goal is to build a portfolio or as I say an "empire" of passive income to provide the cash flow needed for early retire in 15 years, wo we do work on furthering our careers.

I talk about our strategy and getting started with no money down in podcast 103 :) Over time we developed our strategy and build an "always evolving plan" towards our goal, of early retirement off the cash flow in 15 years.We are buy and hold investors who invest in class A properties self-managing from a distance while working full time.

A lot depends on what you really want out of your investments based on where you are in your life and possibly depending on your financial plans (early retirement, etc).  

My end-game goal (I'm sure, like many others) would be to own enough houses, managed outside, to have a passive income for retirement. 

For the baby boomers retiring this becomes more attractive as well.

For now, since my brain has chosen to retire for a short while, someone with the knowledge please enlighten me of what it is I need to know moving forward.

This is a huge retirement community (all 3 cities).
