Approaching Retirment - Looking for Income

[Phil Freeman]

So here I am approaching retirement.  Looks like I will be able to retire a bit early at 59.  My interest here is to possibly look into a second "career" investing in income producing properties.  I have started reading "The Book On Rental Property Investing", and starting to gain some knowledge on income producing properties.

I am currently in the Northern Virginia area.  Would like to develop a portfolio of 10 properties, generating about $3k a month before retiring n 2021 or 22.
