      I am semi retired, I self manage my properties. I am feeling like I am short 200-300k and maybe I should go back to work a few years. Or should I stay the retirement course and make it work?

      Age 53
      Monthly expenses 7000
      I net 8500/ mo on rentals
      2.5 million net in Real estate
      380k in brokerage accounts
      I still have 300k mort on my primary home (this is included in 7k expenses )

      I’m trying side hustles, but not making that much extra.
      What’s your advise?

      Thank you!

        Stay retired. Work will always be there. Time won’t.

          If your cash flow from real estate is 1500 more than your monthly expenses and you have a NW of 3 million you don’t NEED to go back to work.

          If you want to that’s fine but you definitely don’t need to.

            cash out of something to support 3 years of expenses, put it in HYSA, CD, or something relatively liquid, and enjoy.

            even under the 4% rule that I hate so much, you could upgrade to 10k per month expenses and be fine.

              A little lean but doable, hopefully you have a healthy cash reserve for capital expenses on the rentals.
