Also I have a great start on retirement through my pension, and a healthy portion of my check going to other investments, so the diversity of my portfolio is very attractive. 

I reduced my lifestyle expenses to where I could live decently on $1200-1750 a month (rented rooms in my house, paid off my car, stopped eating out, paid off my phone, etc.)

We have also recently become members of Lifestyles Unlimited if anyone is familiar & attended one of the workshops trying to familiarize ourselves with as many strategies as possible.  

You got nothing to prove to anyone - don't get trapped in the golden handcuffs either improving lifestyle when income goes up.

I've since installed a fire/CO detector in the garage, and sent an email to the tenant urging and highlighting the association's rules that no in-home  business that causes risk to safety and health, is allowed.

I'm also trying to see if anyone has been or is a member of life style unlimited..

The amount of rental income you need to net per month to quit your job will depend on your individual financial situation and lifestyle.

What good is it to have money, businesses, properties, etc when your health is bad and nobody likes you?

That being said, I'm  looking for a new market for multi family to create a lifestyle business.

It's a massive city, but there's a lot of different areas of the metro that offer variety depending on what type community and lifestyle your looking for.
