with the 255 on 20s I just have to cut the fender to fit the tire /wheel combo by using the proper spacers and angle the fenders properly. I can also make sure I cut the fender the proper length to maximize the coverage but also have the fender look good and block road kickback of debris or water as best as possible. Plus.... based on what I saw this weekend from the guys who have my fenders and what I experienced myself driving in the heavy rain, I'll be developing a small deflector that will mount under the hood wings to redirect the flow of water coming up from under the hood and channeling towards the driver/passenger compartment because of the cleaner flow of air with the deletion of the mudflaps
Works for me @StickerDick Payment sent

Yep that’s mine. If reducing cabin temps is the goal I don’t think you’ll be thrilled. It does seem to reduce engine operating temp. It’s gonna be 94, today and I’m taking the sling out. I’ll let y’all know.

we installed those fenders and side panels in the trailer while outside of the fairgrounds.....my big behind was getting close to needing some Royal Purple to squeeze in between the trailer walls and tires. But Thanks @Fast Orange for becoming the newest family member of Three's da Life!
How do I order a set? Probably best to wait until after Maggie, eh?

It usually takes a water hose to get it to shut up again!

Those are awesome and great to look at, however the red and blue will drown them out in a hurry.
There are running modes for legal travel.

Roger that. The advantage of apartments is more doors per location. The disadvantage is appreciation is limited to increases in income. SFRs have a much higher potential for appreciation. Out here in the inflated NW you can't find anything other than a mobile home in a park for $60k. Even plexes are upwards of $110k door right now.
Ouch. Tougher market for sure. I’ve snagged some that required major Reno for 20k. Brick houses believe it or not.

[/quote]Your rents must be higher than mine. I have 2 bedroom apartments and have not raised rents at the pace of the recent market increases.[/quote]I haven’t been able to pull the kind of returns out of apartments that single family homes command. It’s even better if you can buy one in disrepair and bring it up before renting. It’s possible to get properties at a total investment of 60k that will generate 950 a month gross.

That would be gross income. For net income subtract utilities, insurance, property taxes, building maintenance and repair, landscape maintenance and of course, property management fees (usually around 8% of gross) if you don't manage them yourself. Any turnover will create a vacancy rate as well. Personally managed, I've seen net income of around 60%, dipping closer to 50% when I have high maintenance/repair costs, typically due to turnover. These numbers are reduced by interest expense when/if the properties are leveraged.
As far as the original question, there is no magic number for retirement. There are many factors involved, not the least of which is your lifestyle. I've seen people retire comfortably with as little as half a million when they have income streams (social security, pension, passive income like rentals, etc) that cover their basic living expenses and entertainment. These people typically own their home with no mortgage, pay cash for cars and major expenditures, and don't live extravagant lifestyles. I've seen people retire poorly with 2 million when they don't have additional income and decide it's time to start spending. My recommendation would be to find a qualified financial advisor and go over your specific retirement assets and needs/wants and develop a plan for yourself. There is comfort in having specific knowledge of what it will take and what your standard of living will look like. Congratulations on having substantial savings at 44. Many who are older do not.
I own 62 rentals. I’m talking net income.

I'm gonna revive this for one simple question/opinion: how much money (retirement investments) do you need to retire with confidence. I'm not looking for details just general numbers... 1 million, 5 million, 10 million... what's the number?
Background for my question... I have never had anyone in my life to discuss finances as a topic. I'm 44 years old and have always contributed to retirement plans and realized lately that I feel like I have a lot of money saved and currently live way below my means.
If you have that kind of money you’re better off buying rental properties and having a company manage them. That way instead of bleeding your retirement fund to live on you can live on the rental income. A million will easily get you 8-10 excellent properties that will generate around 8-10k a month income.
