Rental Properties After 40: Smart Wealth Moves or Risky Headache?

Dr. Preston Cherry

Building wealth through real estate is often promoted as a path to financial freedom, but it may not suit everyone, especially those in their 40s focusing on lifestyle and retirement goals.

In this episode, Dr. Preston Cherry emphasizes prioritizing foundational investments like 401(k)s, IRAs, and brokerage accounts before considering real estate, as nearly half of real estate owners fail to achieve a 10% return.

Challenges such as maintenance costs, tenant management, and market volatility are explored, alongside passive alternatives like REITs and crowdfunding. Ultimately, aligning financial strategies with one’s life stage and goals is key, as real estate is just one of many paths to financial success.
