Retire on Real Estate: Building Rental Income for a Safe and Secure Retirement

by K Kai Anderson

Think beyond the nest egg . . .

Do you know how you’ll fund your retirement? With pensions slashed, savings slim, and Social Security insufficient and unpredictable, most people won’t have nearly enough money to last them.

But a sustainable solution lies in plain sight: rental property. Retire on Real Estate helps anyone, of any age, take advantage of this often overlooked income generator. Written by a seasoned real estate investor and landlord, the book exposes the cracks in most retirement portfolios, opens your eyes to the benefits of rental income, and lays out a complete plan of action, including how to:

Get started — by purchasing property or converting your residence into a rental ● Reduce the risk of vacancies, repairs, and problem tenants ● Calculate cash flow ● Spot smart investments ● Choose the right mortgage ● Consider out-of-the-box financing options ● Transform liabilities into assets ● Stabilize your finances ● Trade up to more profitable properties ● And more

Whether you want to diversify with a single property or self-fund your entire retirement, real estate is an investment that pays you back for the rest of your life.

Too much motivational speak, not enough strategy. Chapters 1-7 mostly harp on about how you'll never have enough in retirement without real estate---um yeah, that's why I picked up this book. I was annoyed that everything I was interested in learning was in an online companion and not the actual book. Most of the recommendations in the book I found useless. There's no way I'm renting out a room in my own house with young children. Rent my car out? Rent a bike out? Laughable. Come on. That doesn't work when you live in a city featured in a certain popular auto theft video game.

Less practical advice than I expected. However, the book is very motivational and makes me want to take the plunge. I understand there will be more practical information in the online companion read to this book.

This book says that nose people are counting on their nest egg to retire, but with real estate, you can get a "chicken" who will provide unlimited income.

A good read. It was well written, and easy to follow along. I enjoyed the different age bracket examples, as it helps you visualize your situation.
