Shortly after my sixtieth birthday my company let me go. In Corporate America, your employer owes you a paycheck this week, for the work you did last week. They do not owe you a future your future is entirely up to you. Even though my retirement came sooner than I expected, I found that with a few lifestyle changes I could retire on my Real Estate Investments. I now have first hand knowledge on Real Estate Investment for Retirement, knowledge I can share. This site is not about getting rich in real estate with no money down, there are no Ferrari’s here. My focus is Real Estate for Retirement. I will be discussing how you can keep your job, buy investment properties and use your cash flow to build your portfolio for retirement.
Real Estate Investment for Retirement is simple but it is not easy. It takes planning, action, dedication and sacrifice. I will help you decide if it is right for you. Retirement is part of the American dream, or at least it used to be. You define what retirement is for you. Is it traveling the world and staying in luxury resorts, domestic travel, hitting the road in a camper or motor home, staying close to home, gardening or developing hobbies, becoming an Expat, working part time, full time, not working at all? There are many ways to define retirement, and our personal financial circumstances are what will define the retirement we have.
For me personally, retirement is simple, it’s having free time to explore my hobbies and interests. Being able to enjoy my morning coffee stress free without rushing is a really cool thing! I have found a new appreciation for my morning coffee. I will travel on a budget, when I do travel, explore the outdoors, explore new foods, music, and new cultures and make sure I stay close to my children. My largest expenditures in my retirement will be my overhead, what it costs to live, cabernet ☺, food, shelter, transportation, taxes and the biggest of all, healthcare. I will share these experiences with you as well.
