Buy Tropical Real Estate with Your 401k or IRA, Here is how.

Author: Josh Linnes September 15, 2016 Duration: 51:22

Did you know you can use your 401k or IRA to invest in Tropical Real Estate?

Well, you can and not only that you can invest in several other assets classes besides real estate too.

This means you can get your money outside the volatile world of the stock market and make investments on your own terms.

You can even get your money outside the U.S. to take advantage of emerging markets and increased control and privacy over your hard earned money.

You will be able to find new opportunities and get in early before it is too late and big money rushes in to mess up the market.

On this episode we speak to Ross Powell, who spent 30 years in the banking industry only to find out the system was rigged against the little guy.

Ross decided to start his own company that helps people gain control of their retirement finances and invest in things that make sense.

His company shows people how use their 401k to invest tropical real estate, gold, farming, and pretty much any other hard asset.


There's a certain rhythm to life in the tropics that goes far beyond the postcard images. Viva Tropical is the sound of that rhythm, hosted by Josh Linnes, whose own story began with a surfboard and a one-way ticket to Costa Rica decades ago. This isn't a travel brochure; it's a deep dive into the realities, cultures, and unexpected lessons learned from fully embracing a life under the sun. Josh brings the perspective of someone who has built businesses, navigated real estate from Costa Rica to Panama, and even co-purchased an island, all while staying grounded in the authentic pulse of the region. Each episode feels like a conversation with a well-seasoned friend, one who is as at home in a dugout canoe as on a yacht. You'll hear explorations of local societies, alternative approaches to health and fitness shaped by the environment, and candid discussions about what it truly means to integrate into a new place. The Viva Tropical podcast is an ongoing chronicle of a lifestyle built by choice, full of practical wisdom and compelling stories for anyone who has ever felt the pull of warmer latitudes or simply wonders how a different landscape can reshape a life.
