Retirement Portfolio Net Worth - as of Sept4-2018

The goal is a retirement portfolio net worth of $1,000,000 and an annual passive income of $40,000. We are currently mortgage free but won’t be including the value of our principal residence or cottage as we have no plans to sell either. We have also omitted the value of our workplace defined benefit pension plans and our children’s RESPs.

Well I managed to contribute $1000 into our investment account last month...not much but better than nothing. I did however put a few thousand dollars, and a couple weeks of sweat equity into the cottage last month. I figure being handy saved me about $6000 on that job. I likely won't be making any meaningful contributions next month either as I still have to contribute to our childrens education savings plans.

Retirement Portfolio Net Worth - As of Dec01-2023

  The goal: 1. Retirement Equity Portfolio of $1,000,000 2. Rental Portfolio Value of $1,200,000 3. Annual Passive Income of $60,000 (rental income + dividends combined) We are currently mortgage free but won’t be including the value of our principal residence or cottage as we have no plans to sell either. We have also omitted the value of our workplace defined benefit pension plans and children’s RESP. COMMENTARY: What a difference a couple months made.  Our retirement portfolio increased by a whooping $ 63,917. The large jump was caused by a combination of stock market appreciation, aggressive debt reduction and an $8K contribution to our equity portfolio. ASSETS.

Purchased Another Rental Unit

Well we’re doing it again. We’ve purchased another rental home. Our most recent purchase is a detached, 3 bedroom, single family, 2 story home in a decent area of town. Unlike our other rental this one will appeal more to families. There is a large fully fenced yard so we’ve decided we are going to allow pets (many landlords in our area do not) which should appeal to higher income earning pet lovers. The house is currently vacant and is move in ready. However, I’m going to add a half bathroom on the main level, replace some flooring in the bedrooms and do a long list of smaller aesthetic fixes ie-painting etc…I’m hoping to have all this completed by mid January however, as anyone who’s done renovations knows timelines often have to get stretched. Once the renovations are complete we’re going to try and rent the home for what we believe is the top end of what comparable rentals go for. This is a learning experience for us so we figure if after a few weeks we don’t get any bites

We have also omitted the value of our workplace defined benefit pension plans and children’s RESP. COMMENTARY: Nothing too extreme in May however we did have to spend a few thousand on repairs at the rentals. I've also increased the estimated selling prince of rentals 1, 3 and 4 as I haven't seen any comparable properties sell for that low in over a year. ASSETS.
