So you're well aware that alternative investment options exist and all this "what am I to do? Rental housing is the only thing to invest in" is just nonsense.
Yup. Just like if someone invested in diamonds or gold, people upset about it wouldn't give them a pass if they said "I just wanted a tangible investment".
You complained about spending 30 years making someone else rich, and now you're retired off the back of your renter making you rich. Your example of a "bad year" was $2500 profit after paying for repairs from a tornado, for a property you don't need or use.
