I would first set my goals towards accomplishing retirement in 10 years. Basic goals involving management of income, savings and expenses whether from R.E. or another business venture. After I have enough to retire on, I would liquidate my assets and move out of the US to another country. - Must have a beach nearby. One preferably with lower costs but higher quality of living. Its amazing how much you can live off depending on location.

There are MANY ways to go from point A to Z. This is just one of many.
You should probably start with a plan. Retiring can require a wide range of possible financial needs so after you figure out what your retirement lifestyle is you need to convert it into required cash flow and/or net worth. My preference would be to concentrate on required monthly cash flow. Then you should work a numerical plan for each year. Each year should have acquisitions, sales, trades. A spread sheet is a good tool for this (see my posted article, if you wish). Then massage the plan until it meets your needs. The plan should tell you what to do each year for the next 10 years. Then you work your plan. You will likely want to update it as well when needed.
