Do you mind sharing how much capital you have invested to deliver such dividends? Mine are nowhere near yours 😂

Hi Jen! We have about $750k right now. I just wrote our entire step by step timeline on how we did it a couple weeks ago - it might be helpful?

We’re expats in Playa del Carmen. Moved here in 2017 to try it out and we’re still here ☺️

I love Playa del Carmen, I’ve been twice! Although, admittedly, 15 years ago and it was more to party haha. I remember it being beautiful. Sounds like you fell in love with it!

Lots of people still come to party but it’s also a fast growing international city. We love it.

You wouldn’t recognize it today! Playa’s growing fast and it’s a wonderful, international city.

This is inspiring. I also follow Erica and Adriane. We don’t have a house to sell, lol. But we are debt free and live in Mexico. So those help keep our expenses low. Congrats on your accomplishments!

Oh that's fun, another PII family member! Debt free in Mexico sounds amazing - where in Mexico do you live? Are you an expat or a local?

Thank you :)

I'm a little under half of this amount in dividends monthly - $3,300

Hoping I can achieve similar results by 33!

Yesssss let’s GO! $3300 is amazing. Do you have a target you’re aiming for in monthly cash?
