    Yes that is correct it depends on where you are at in life.

    I am at a point where I want to be passive...maintaining properties is not on my agenda.:p

    I must have missed the post about why property investors would struggle when retired.

    I know several investors with a handful of CIP (no residential) with >$X00,000 net income on a fully let basis. They get their CPI or greater annual increases and a % of outgoings.

    Why diversify?

    I think @sash was referring to residential property. The issue with resi being expenses. I have not calculated exactly but my parents would be spending around 40% of their rental income on expenses. It's a big hit on an already low income. That's because they bought cheap "houses" in Adelaide's worst suburbs though.
