Holding rentals during retirement?

[Satya Nagarajan]

Is it usually a good idea to hold a portfolio of rental properties during your retirement, or is it smarter to move into safer assets, like bonds? If you are holding rentals during retirement, aren't you risking a potential lawsuit down the road wiping out your portfolio when you're 70? I understand that real estate investing can get you on the road to retirement, but how about during your retirement?
