I am also a huge fan of real estate and for the past 50 years there's been a way to combine both.By leveraging a Self-Directed IRA, real estate investors enjoy both the traditional advantages of property ownership and the additional tax benefits of retirement accounts, creating a powerful wealth-building strategy.

If you ever have any questions regarding this or in general feel free to reach out I enjoy helping and ensuring other BP members avoid lost time and money. 

That way guests can enjoy it year round even when it's not cold.

We have two young boys who also enjoy Japan and hoping we can all begin to learn the language and possibly enroll them into an International School during the summers.

If you get help and look in the right locations, you can make the numbers work and still enjoy the property with your family.

The first thing I want to point out is that it may be wise, in your thinking, to separate the property itself from the STR business that's being run from the property.In the old days (as recent as 10 years ago), people buy a vacation home to enjoy, and they leave it empty when not in use. 

It's a niche I genuinely enjoy, and that's why I focus exclusively on it.

We'd love to escape the cold Dutch winters and enjoy a warmer climate.When we're not using the property, we plan to rent it out as an Airbnb to generate passive income.

I'm particularly passionate about emerging markets in the Multifamily domain.Outside of real estate, I enjoy time with family and friends.

It allows you to rent out your property for additional income or use it as a seasonal getaway to enjoy the vibrant beauty of Mexico.
