Jeffrey Wang+FollowShould we pick rentals over a RothIRA?My wife and I are debating this right now—we’ve got 2 rentals making $1,500/mo with zero vacancies in 4 years. But we can’t afford to grow that and fund our Roth IRA. I’m leaning toward putting everything into real estate. It feels more tangible… monthly cash flow, inflation protection, and we’ll own them outright eventually. But am I missing something? Anyone else go all-in on rentals instead of retirement accounts? #realestateinvesting #retirementplanning #RothIRA20Share
