although - as a caution - don't try and force, or influence, your parents into doing something they are not entirely comfortable with.
sounds like they are happy with the path they have choosen and that you are trying to force your own beliefs onto them.
for the record - i completely agree with you about purchasing more ip's (either inside or outside of the super fund) rather than plowing everything into straight super.
BUT if they feel they are railroaded into a financial decision they are not happy with, the possibility of self sacrifice may rear it's ugly head. or, if something goes wrong like a bad tenant, a dud buy or other unforseen problems, then you will be held as the one to blame.
i would suggest you give them all the information, let them decide what they are comfortable doing and then leave them alone.
they probably have only around 10-20 years left of life, and much of that as very elderly, and they won't want any stress or discomfort in that time.
