Make sure they will generate enough income after taxes to allow you to cover your retirement expenses. 

Hi all- I’m looking for a seasoned agent to help find a solid stable investment opportunity in the Philly area.

Being self employed I decided I need to explore some retirement options and, like many of you, I think real estate will be the best fit for me since it's something I've enjoyed for quite a while now. 

Actually, when I retire I might even do it again. 

Hello All,I'm an investor from out of state and I'm looking into purchasing a property in Vegas to rent out to my cousin who lives there now and then maybe in 5 - 10 yrs use it as a vacation/retirement home for myself. 

I Have roughly 80k in a retirement fund from a former employer. 

Lots of growth, stable economy, competitive market rates, and good appreciation.

Both of us have similar goal, which is payoff quickly and use for retirement. 

@Meir Greenblatt Hello Meir, yes my main goal is to buy and hold properties, build a big enough portfolio to retire early.

One thing that helped keep anxiety levels lower than usual is the fact that Ann Arbor is an incredibly strong/stable market, so if everything went south we would've had no qualms about holding on to the property long term.
