424 Finding Clarity: Your Roadmap to a Fulfilling Retirement

In today's podcast episode, I want to explore how to evaluate if it makes sense to sell a rental property. Many people we have served over the years own rental properties and rental properties can be a great tool for retirement because they generate predictable inflation-adjusted income. 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.   The Retirement Budget Calculator is an intuitive tool that promises ease and accuracy.
