The heading translates to English as: "Why Retirement is the Ideal Time for Real Estate Investments.

Real estate investments are an effective method to create an additional source of income and diversify an existing portfolio. However, it requires patience and dedication to turn it into a truly lucrative income source. During the working years, investing in real estate may seem neither feasible nor sensible for many people. After retirement, however, the right time to start might have arrived. Generating passive income does not have to be difficult. You could start as soon as next week. Upon entering retirement, you likely have fewer debts, a substantial financial cushion, and know how to get by with less. This means that suddenly more liquid funds are available for real estate investments. According to Kathleen Peddicord, CEO and founder of Live and Invest Overseas, retirement provides ideal conditions for real estate investments through savings and cash flow. Additionally, more time is now available to focus intensively on real estate. This includes all aspects from ownership to renovation and management of rental properties and tenants, which can regularly yield profits. According to Chad Breeden, founder of Sentry Real Estate, retirees also have more patience and time to make wiser decisions and achieve better returns. With just one or two rental properties, a reliable passive income stream can be generated, which can supplement fixed income, pensions, or savings. Investing in real estate offers not only financial benefits but also flexibility. Breeden emphasizes that investment properties open up financial growth opportunities and numerous lifestyle options. Another argument is that real estate investments can also serve as a rewarding occupation. Paul Gabrail of Everything Money sees this as an opportunity to stay engaged while also generating additional income. According to Nathan Miller, president of Rentec Direct, real estate often offers comparable or even higher returns than other retirement investments and is less volatile. The tax advantage should also not be underestimated. Real estate investments can offset other incomes tax-wise through depreciation, as Gabrail explains. In the long term, real estate investments can also contribute to building a legacy. They can be passed on to your children or grandchildren and involve them in management. Seamus Nally, CEO of TurboTenant, emphasizes that investing in real estate after retirement allows one to manage the properties more intensively and thus maximize profit. For those planning to move abroad, acquiring real estate in other countries can further benefit from diversifying their portfolio. This can help to secure assets outside the USA, as Peddicord notes.
