What's your minimum retirement portfolio look like? sell it?

[Gordon Starr]

Hi BP members! Think for a second about what you would need to retire on your RE portfolio.  For me, it was a comfortable house that I own outright, plus around 30k net annually after expenses and with management and repairs contracted out. The odd thing is, I have already achieved that and I am nowhere near retirement! So now I am wondering.. What If I were to sell all as a retirement package and go back and do it again?.. Could I market it as a package to retirees in exchange for a lump sum? Is the whole worth more than the sum of its parts (six houses and a duplex)? Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts or experiences.
