@David Zheng What market are you in? How long did it take to get to $9.5k/month from your rentals? Did you obtain that mainly through buy and hold?

@Brie Schmidt Good for you. Did you envision that type of lifestyle before you "retired"? Any regrets? What monetary goals did you set for yourself before you retired? How long did it take to get there?

@Federico Gutierrez How long did it take to get to $70k a year passively? What income did you have when you first started? What market in the USA are you investing in? Are you purely buy and hold?

@Elbert D. Thanks for contributing. Have you ever done napkin calcs for those numbers? I've read a few goals that people have for retirement, and it ranges from $50k/year to wild numbers (not that they are unattainable) like $200k/year passive.

@Adam Christopher Zaleski Yo good for you for being prepared to take advantage of a ****** situation. I wish I had money back in 2007 haha

I wasn't into the real estate game back then. Did you ever struggle with the thought of prices going down even FURTHER? I could imagine it have been pretty tough to determine when the actual lowest point was in that recession DURING the recession.

@Adam Christopher Zaleski Wow that's nice.  Do you think you'll ever to get to the point where your rentals pay for travel AND all your bills?
