51 years old looking to FIRE and leave the corporate legal world in a few years.

own a townhouse in DC suburbs with $60K equity

looking at north florida / hilton head/ St. Augustine / Destin area

or is it better for an investment to buy overseas?

interested to hear a general discussion on the markets over the next 3-5 years

60k won't go a long way in any of those places, so I'm assuming you have other funds?

I think it depends a lot on how and when Covid restrictions are lifted and if another pandemic is planned that harms global travel.

in my limited experience....condos are generally **** investments. Invest in something you have more control over.
