I was thinking about 2 duplexes under property management.  Since my house is paid off I would put the extra capital i was paying for a mortgage towards the principal of the 1st property I purchase to pay it down quicker. I don't plan on getting rich. I just want a comfortable retirement.  

OK so first off I am brand new to real-estate. I am 50 yrs old, my home is paid off and I plan on retirement from my government job in 7-9 years. I have 45k in my bank savings and I want to buy 2 duplexes that would generate passive income in my mid 60's. I'm worried about starting too late. Am in being realistic about having 2 properties at my age? Is there a cutoff age? I appreciate any feedback from late starters or folks who might have some insight. 😊 Thanks
