Bottom Line, I would not recommend rental property as retirement income. Sell the property before you retire.

Why would I sell something that brings a good income and excellent equity gains?

I got smashed by Ian. One of ny units is still down after 1.5 years... still an amazing investment that's worth way more than I paid. Once it's up again I'll be killing it.

To your point though, when buying real estate you need to be able to hold and maintain it. Proper long-term planning too.

The subject of this article is a total moron, who doesn't even seem to bother with math.

That is my point as there will almost always be times of no cash flow or even excess expenses, if you are a pensioner like me it can cut into your living expenses. When I worked the expenses were in the noise, not the same being retired and living over 600 miles (even 10,000 miles away) from the property.
