However rental properties can have their drawbacks as well. In today's show, I am going to share the process that we use to help people evaluate if they should keep or sell a rental property from the perspective of retirement cash flow. With interest rates on fixed income being so low for so many years it had been hard to justify selling a rental property but with fixed income interest rates increasing and the appreciation of real estate starting to stall as a result of higher borrowing costs, the analysis is changing.

One of my clients recently forwarded an article with the headline that reads "US economist predicts 2024 will bring "Biggest crash of our lifetime".

Here is a quote from the article  "This is the one time I'm telling you, do not listen to your financial adviser. Things are not going to come back to normal in a few years. We may never see these levels again. And this crash is not going to be a correction. It's going to be more in the '29 to '32 level. And anybody who sat through that would have shot their stockbroker."

Unfortunately, when these types of articles are published it can cause people to worry and question both their financial plan and their investment strategy.
