Path 3: Nomad

In Path 3 we stop renting and buy a Property to live in. We also introduce the Nomad™ strategy which has you purchase a home as an owner-occupant, live there for a year, convert that Property to a rental, and then buy another Property as an owner-occupant to move into and live in for a year before repeating the process. Each Scenario explores how owning a different number of Nomad™ Properties impacts net worth and how long it takes to reach Financial Independence (FI). Copy any of the Scenarios into your Planner™ using the buttons below.
