So I am 30 and far from retirement myself however I think about what I will do with my investments when I’m older as well as think the reasons why I am creating wealth.
Simple answer for me is financial freedom. I am investing now and making moves so that I can retire within the next 10 years(hopefully not to aggressive goal). I might not retire at that age but at least have the option to if I wanted to. My second goal is to build a steady income for myself but also to have my future kids be a step ahead of most people with the investments that I left behind.
I guess long story short is, think back when you first started to invest and what were your goals back then. Did you invest to have a steady income for retirement? Do you have kids? Would you want them to be a step behind or in front of everyone? A property will always go up in value eventually and is in my opinion the best investment you can leave behind.
Maybe another option would be to sale the properties that give you the most trouble and take most of your time. If you were going to sale this is the best time to do so but again maybe only getting rid of those doors that don’t let you enjoy retirement.
Good luck with whatever your decision is!
