put cash into Rental Property or Roth IRA?

[Jesse Hodges]

For the last few years, I have been maxing out both my wife's and my annual roth IRA contributions with savings from work. I am in my late twenties and think of our IRA as more of a bonus later in life then what I am relying on for our retirement. My goals is to have enough rentals to provide me with cash flow so that an IRA is not really even needed. Should I stop contributing to my IRA and direct that cash into properties? It seems that the main party line in the personal finance world is to max IRA first, then invest in other things with whats left over. I know its a case by case opinion based question but I'm curious what others would think/say about that.
