If you were retired, what % in real estate?

I've heard of people retiring on real estate. They just have a bunch of rentals. 

Would you be willing to do that? Maybe have a decent sized pool of cash to take care of the occasional roof repair or personal expense, but almost entirely in real estate?

Or is RE just a supplement?

Replied

Rentals are great! We have always had some and are now comfortably retired on rental income and SSI. Not a bad way to go. Sure, we have other investments too, but they are 'just there' not nearly enough income to retire on.

If it were not for rentals I would be that old guy at the cash register machine at Walmart!
