Early Retirement & Real Estate Exit Strategy

I am new to BP. I have been investing in SFR (Buy & Hold) for 18 Years. Last 2 Years, I am considering different ramp down strategies on my investments with a primary intention of retiring early. At times, I feel I should exit out of the challenges, expenses of a RE portfolio and start identifying alternate revenue sources. Partially I have found that strategy – buying tax-free muni bonds, trading via hedging strategies. I have fairly learnt this in the last 5 years and should be able to scale. The thought is, totally exit out of all my SFR investments go with the alternate route I mentioned above. Advantage – No Prop Taxes/Insurance/HOA, other fees, vacancies, expensive turn arounds for new tenants. I am also aware of the risk from my alternate strategy and in the last 5 years tested it.

Anyone 1) sharing similar views or experience 2)challenge this approach 3)pros & cons 4)precaution to take care if I decide to move forward in coming years.

In summary continue to stay invested in RE or Exit? Thanks
