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 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.

What typically FIRE do all day everyday?

I have no ideas what to if I do RE.

Hm... is that all there is? we w*rk out tails off for twenty some years, save more than spend, invest, ... then retire early?

Nords, I haven't read that book or much else, the title sounds interesting.

JDW, my assets include mostly in RE value around 4.5M, 220K of that is in IRA. Only one child, age 12 at home, 1/2 of college expenses is in place. Though our annual expenses is about 60K, I figured one can live, travel, and give pretty comfortably at 150K a year.

IM 48. A software enterpreneur, I have enough in RE holding to live comfortably for 30 years, I feel tired and worn out! should I retire early? zcung
