The thing with your route is doing the rental business would be too stressful for me. For me, enough is being able to live off interest. Unless the bank goes bankrupt, I really don't have anything to worry about.

Part of the reason for choosing rental-based income is that tenants would give me "a job".

I'd go insane with nothing to do, so I'd probably find myself working for a coffee shop or similar anyway, but the idea of the renting is to make sure I had a token-job, or function. (Hell with five properties and low fees I could probably become a management company..)
