The cynic in me says that REI is not giving them enough cash flow and they need something else to supplement it...

Let's take some generic numbers

Or is this email a generic email that is sent and if they get no bites, then they will re-allow lower bids?

I'm looking toward retiring from my 9 to 5 job in about 10 years, and want to supplement my 401(k)/IRA and Social Security (if it's still around) income. 

The paperwork is very generic.

My wife and I started out buying a two-unit apartment house about 7 years ago with a similar goal... buying 1-2 small multifamilies per year to hold and pay off the mortgages to cash flow supplemental income.

Also to retire he needs the income from the rental to supplement his pension.

Those generic statements, and they want the rest of the $ which amounts to $150 vicinity.How do you reply to a dispute letter?  

I will get as many as six, and use the best 5. 2 supplement the best 3.

I’m planning on purchasing a few OOS properties to supplement Ca properties.
