Good to hear from other Real Estate Investors. Tryan, cash flow is positive, I can live on rents too as long as there is a lease on them. Arif, am glad that its working for you well. Doushioukjanaa, No I probably won't buy any more and may consider sell some so I can be more diversify.

I am not exactly a Real Estate guy and don't make a piles of money. I've made a few bucks between 2000-2003 with some software inventions, at such time I couldn't convince myself to put the money in the stock market, instead I put it into tax free munis but then interest rate went up, I took...

I've gain as well lost quite a few bucks on the Stock Market but have consitently getting 10% or more on Real Estate investment. Any one care to suggest an allocation table with typical rate of return? Z

Whether you're FIRE already or getting there, what is your assets allocation look like? I may got too much in Real Estate! only 4% is in an self directed IRA. Of 96% of my total assets, 39% is in commercial office building, and 61% is in new home construction and land. Z

Yes. Yesterday I saw a man gives $7 buck tips for a $13 hair cut because the hair dresser stroke his eagle.

I agree with Cut-Throat and would say that you just work until you don't want to any more.

Yes, if your businesses (without you) can bring you at least 80% of your current income.

'and 10-12K/year should be included in the ER annually.' Corrected to: 'and 10-12K/year should be included in the ER expenses annually.

So unless you w*rked for the Government, $700-800/month for family coverage is the norm.  And it sounds like a plan with a high deductible is the way to go, and 10-12K/year should be included in the ER annually. Z

Yike! May be IM paying to much for BCBS! $738/month, $1500 Deductible and $30 copay for Dr visits and each prescription. Z

IM paying $738 for family coverage, I wonder if that will increase after ER. Z

IM sure this Q been asked but an update may be good. Thanx in advance. Z

Thank you all for sharing. I am beginning to see ER now. I think I am going to re-position myself and planned to hang it up completely in five years or so. Ron, I see what you mean... I am sitting here in the office instead of fishing meaning I am doing something that someone else want me to...

Thank you Nords for the links and everyone else comments. I did not read all the threads by each word but it seems FIREs daily life is too routine and (to me) may be even boring... IM refering to "Up at 5/6, drink coffee, walk the dogs, lounge around, eat lunch, take a knap, excercise, eat...

Thanks Nords, I'll check out those books. I am hoping to receive loads of wisdom from the FIREs on this topic.
