Investing in Real Estate for Retirement: Just a quick note this morning as I’ve got a room full of people waiting for me to kick off day two of my International Property SummitLINKVP down here in Panama City. We started yesterday with an overview of how to launch your global property portfolio… choosing the right […]
According to recent findings from the National Institute on Retirement Security, 68% of Americans aren’t sure they’ll ever be able to retire. Meanwhile 79% of Americans polled for Intuit’s Prosperity Index for 2025 say the country is facing a retirement crisis. Self-help guru Tony Robbins has warned U.S. retirees that relying on Social Security in […]
International wealth-building strategies: I grew up in a lower-middle-class home, the son of a single mother. There was no trust fund to give me a leg up in life. I saved long to be able to pay for my first car, and I worked two jobs to cover college tuition… then grad school. I tell […]

Trump himself has called for “no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security benefits for our great seniors.” And, with a Republican-led White […]
I bought my first property when I was 27. The loan to value for the mortgage was 98%. The property was a three-flat building in Chicago where we lived in one unit and needed the rent from the other two units to cover the mortgage. Our contribution to the mortgage was equivalent to the rent […]

Living somewhere you’re not happy just to save on your tax bill isn’t worth it in the long run. Before choosing where to live, invest, or do business abroad, you should analyze all aspects […]
