I've been lurking for awhile (other than when JG started talking about real estate deals). My wife and I are 33 and 32 and both in the military. We have decided to hang up the uniforms before retirement and go out on our own. Our plan is to semi-RE now instead of working 9 more years till retirement. We'll be moving to Panama on December 12 and living off of our rental income. The property management company will take over the rentals on the 5th and I'll hope for the best with them. All of our bills are paid off (cc, auto, etc.) except one cc at 2.9% interest. We saved a little over one year of expenses just in case and took out ELOCs on four of our properties as a back up for the business. This has been a nerve wrecking process and as the days draw closer it seems like our "to do" list gets longer and longer. The movers will be here in two weeks and we are ready to go. It will be strange renting from someone while we are in Panama even though we have 30 rental units in the States. We plan to build a house on the beach in a year so that is why we will be renting. Sorry to ramble just wanted to share.
