Quote from @Adah N.: @Kimothy BynumI like open house style showings and tenants like it too.

[I'll use $1mil as current savings, no additional deposits, a starting age of 59, a retirement age of 60, asset allocation of 50/30/20 stock/bond/cash, $40k/yr withdrawal, 7% market, 3% bond, 2% cash returns, a 50% chance of a market crash in 5 years, and inflation at 5% (because the FED is dreaming if they think they can get it back down to 2% with 50 years of tax-cut-n-spend and tax-n-spend 2-party politics).]

You need that, plain n simple.

RE buy n hold renting can be great, but 1) it is not passive, it requires work 2) the cash flow is much less than most tenants (and many inexperienced LLs) believe. 3) the risks are significant.
