(Ep. 39) How to Use AI in Real Estate & Expat Strategies for Retirement | Dr. Axel Meierhoefer

Dr. Axel Meierhoefer joins Mike Milligan, CFP®, to uncover his unique strategies for achieving financial freedom and navigating the future landscape of wealth.

This Ideas by Mike™ Podcast episode dives deep into three core areas: building wealth through residential real estate investing, the imminent impact of AI and embodied robotics, and the tactical steps to successfully transitioning to expat life.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Real Estate Investing Strategy: How Dr. Axel built a sound portfolio starting late in life by implementing the turnkey investing approach. We explore why investors must focus on the asset's performance rather than just location, location, location, a core philosophy in his book, The Ideal Wealth Grower.

• AI and the Age of Abundance: An insightful look into exponential growth and how embodied AI (robotics) will fundamentally change our daily lives within the next 5 to 10 years. Dr. Axel shares his optimistic vision for a future where time and money constraints are removed, allowing humans to master what they love.

• The Expat Journey to Spain: The step-by-step checklist Dr. Axel and his family used to find their ideal location, emphasizing climate, culture, and cleanliness. He reveals how this move is part of his plan to reach financial freedom by 2027, including the benefit of a cost of living that is 40% lower.

He also offers crucial advice for anyone considering moving abroad: always rent first.
