OP, you ask some good questions. I have purchased and “flipped” several houses over the years (didn’t get rich but did make some money) but only rented a couple of them. I did put a pencil to renting property in The Villages. No question there is money to be made from several rentals but it also can quickly turn into a full time job. I decided not to trade the good job I previously had (for 38 years) for another one. We are comfortable. Retirement brings two questions. 1. How much time do you have left and 2. What do you want to do with the unknown time you have left. After some thought and discussion we decided on some travel, more time golfing, church and club activities, neighborhood and friends, and remaining flexible to new ideas, activities, etc., etc. But to each their own.
