I'm just not interested in the hassles of renters, maintenance and all that stuff.

Ditto, but you could handle the benefits of long term passive income. This is solved through division of labor. Stick to flying airplanes and let property managers and handymen do what they are good at. Trip7 hits the nail on the head with "division of labor"


If I had it to do over again, I would have bought a rental property with my ROTH IRA and had all that profit go in to my retirement account tax free (dyodd btw on that).

Lots of DYODD required when dealing with ROTH IRA and income property

I don't have anywhere near enough information on these various proposals so I am not committed to any of them. I do know that my tax bill when I retire will not be significantly less than it is now, so adding to my current tax bill might not be the best plan for me. What I hope the MEC comes up with are options and not an all or nothing plan that incorporates either all of us or none of us. That would truly suck.
