how many properties do i have to accuire to secure a good retirement?

Question

well, at least 1800 bucks of cold hard cash a month.

i can live pretty good off of that single, no kids.

Answer 1

Zero.

There's other forms of income that beat properties. When you're retired, you're probably too old to deal with the up keep, taxes, etc... Invest now in your 401K, Mutal funds, CDs, etc... and you'll find by the time you get to that age, you'll have your 1800 a month easy.

Answer 2

it depends on what your profit is off of each one...
