.: I think what your asking is, can real estate generate enough cash flow to retire off of.

@Henry Clark I retired early as well.

I also helped my mother get 2 rentals to help supplement her retirement, mistake #1b.

Bought a triplex in 2011 with all cash in my retirement account.

I learned about them from a Rent to Retirement podcast where they interviewed a former W2 FT sales guy in tech (that's me today...) turn real estate investor.

My goal is reviewing retirement options. 

Are you still working the 9-5 job or retired? 

For example we pay our own income taxes, broker splits and all of our other expenses directly out of what we make including required E&O insurance, MLS dues, licensing fees, Board of Realtor dues, continuing education costs, marketing, advertising, office fees/rent, transaction coordinator/ assistant fees, health insurance, car insurance and maintenance, gas, tires, software, retirement fund, etc.We are not W2 employees with payroll taxes already taken out of our paychecks, company-paid health insurance and matching retirement account plus a guarantee of at least 40 hours paid work per week, sick pay, paid vacation… none of that.So if you’re thinking you’ll be able to pay an hourly wage typical of a W2 hourly employee like $50-85/hr… that’s definitely not going to work.

It's mostly retired people or people who have no money.

I watched a Brigg’s YouTube video on best places to retire and Carson City was #2.I was thinking more of drive up occasionally during the summer place unless Vegas gets much worse.
