Why REI ?

[RICARDO RUIZ]

I've been looking around for some time now and I keep reading about cash flow of 100 dollars or less per unit per month. Is it worth the effort ? Here is my situation see what you think..I am looking at REI for maybe some steady income in retirement which is from 15 to 20 years away..I earn approx 40 dollars per hour and O.T appears plentyful for many years to come. Its odd because the worse the economy gets the more work we seem to have..If I am looking at about 100 dollars per month isnt it just easier to work 2 hours of over time per month netting me about 100 dollars per month ? So that's 100 dollars per month with no worries about bad tenants, property damages, banks, etc.....What do you guys think ?
