International Living

Mike Smith portrait

Mike grew his passive income with real estate while in Bozeman as part of the club.  While his two boys were still young he and his wife decided to live abroad.  If you are not completely financially independent, how can you use some passive income to bridge the gap, while keeping expenses down and pull this off?  What are some major considerations before living abroad (visas, time zones, jobs, cost of living, real estate, etc).  Managing rental properties from another state may seem scary, but what about from another continent?  Come hear Mike's story, hear about some of his investments, and learn some key lessons about living abroad.  Mike will video in from the Netherlands.
