We made the leap and it all worked out with Mike Brush

from Life in Paradise on a Shoestring · host Dawn Fleming

Mike Brush and his husband Chris Crum had a Plan B that included purchasing property where they could live, but it also generated rental income. The found the perfect piece of real estate in Isla Mujeres, Mexico, signed the purchase agreement hoping they could spend a few weeks to a couple of months a year there. Two days later a global pandemic was declared. They had two choices: back out and lose a substantial deposit payment or make a leap of faith and move forward with their purchase.  A couple of months later Mike lost his long term, well paying job. With no entrepreneurial background, they liquidated everything and moved to Mexico to live in their "retirement" home full time-  over a decade early.  In short, they boldly took control of their future in less than ideal circumstances.  Visit their website at https://casabellanoche.comDid you get your Free Copy of Dawn's book yet?Connect with me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/midlifeinparadise/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dawndfleming/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawnfleming/Website: https://www.lifeinparadisepodcast.comSupport the showSupport the show
