(If anyones got tips on financing with $100k student loans, please let me know).I work an interesting schedule, 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, which makes it necessary to have a good partner (and a good travel rewards card).My goals:I want financial freedom, a large passive income is the end goal, and all it takes is work, patience, and attention to detail?

Allstate was lower than the last one I went with which was Traveler's.

Even the hurricanes that hit the southeast and become huge storms usually travel north and then east and miss us completely.

This means I spend most of my summers traveling around the country fighting fires, and have a lot of time off in the winter.I already have a bit of a start investing in real estate.

@Mike M,Many times I have traveled the back country roads in southwestern Colorado, including the Silverton, Lake City, Telluride and Ouray areas.Have you ever traveled over Schofield Pass in the Crested Butte area?

The era of the traveling tax lien bidder is almost over.

I did some world traveling and then picked up another fixer house last year in SB county I recently sold (owner financed).I just got my California Real Estate Salesperson license last month as well (got tired of looking for a good real estate agent =) I'm with a full 100% commission broker in Orange County....I plan on giving people generous rebates if anyone needs agent help.

I have enough worries without having to wonder whether or not the payment has dropped (or risen) by 20% before I'd converted it.I agree... unless you wanted a mechanism to accept the rent 'here in the US' and pay your taxes owed here in the US yet have a ready 'reserve currency' you can convert to ANY local currency when you travel abroad.

Also, make sure health insurance will cover the travel or get travelers insurance.. procedures extremely expensive if something happens that isn't covered by ins.

I will be able to confirm by Thursday because I may be traveling for work early next week.Thank you,Matt
