Hello Bigger Pockets, I am a young guy who is fairly fresh into the corporate world that has a goal to retire by the age of 35!

If you have 401k with the current employer most likely they will not allow you to transfer it out until you are either no longer employed there or reach retirement age.3.

I want to learn more about buying rental properties for the cash-flow and retirement.

I hope to maintain a comfortable lifestyle going forward with these investment and be able to fully retire at the age of 46.If anyone has some recommended resources in the area (REIA meetings, groups, etc) I would love to hear them.

The owner is looking for a certain number after paying the mortgage off to retire and it's within my numbers which makes the deal work.

If it sounds like I’m being hard on rookie (and flat out shady wholesalers) I am, but for good reasons.Investors like you are entrusting them with their retirement money or life savings, so its well worth the time to either water-board them, or at the very least, ask them some tough questions.So here’s the questions, and some tips on how to spot a B.S, answer.Question # 1How many houses have you personally bought, rehabbed, and successfully sold for a profit?

excellent counsel here - thanks esp Julie and Jackie - I am interested in Italy to retire in, but not Venice which I do love but...frankly I would like Trieste more as a place to live/invest in.Venice has its own particular structural considerations - esp if it is near a canal / the areas that flood etc - try to visit in more than one season and also at night - sometimes places that are totally quiet and idyllic by day have horrendous noise at night.EU laws also make life difficult for living/investing!

Rather, I'd like to find a retired developer or builder where I could pick their brain and get the occasional reality check. 

Anyway, he's got this place up in Arkansas that he bought with cash as a kind of retirement home for when he gets done contracting.
