Hi there,
I was hoping for some advice from some people that already have their plans set out for retirement or investors with a clear set of plans!
I need some help making sure I know where I am going!
I think I need to provide some background, so please bare with me.
I am 31 & married with 2 kids. I fortunately have a high paying job and this enables my wife to be at home with the kids. We started investing in property a few years back (2007), and have put together a small portfolio. I have a goal that I have plucked form the air, and that is to retire on my 40th birthday, occuring in 2020. Hence the title of this post!
I am trying to calculate what else we need to do and what position we need to be in in order for us to retire with an income of around $75K per annum.
The current situation is as follows:
Using some basic calculations*, in 2020 I think it will be more like:
So using the rough calculations above, in 2020 I would have equity of 1.8Mill with cashflow of $22K per annum from rents.
My questions are:
1. Does the above 2020 projections seems somewhat plausible?
2. Would an asset base this size be ok for a sustainable retirement? I have used some calculators and spreadsheets online and it seems ok?
3. Any advice or ideas on other thing I can do over the period to shore all of this up? Should I look to add more property as LVR allows?
I am aware that if the above doesn't happen - I just keep working. But worth a shot I think at having such a goal!
Thanks for taking the time to review!

The current situation is as follows:
PPOR: Value 420K Owe $380K
Investment Properties (6): Value $1.4Mill Owe $1.2Mill
Superannuation (Combined): $70K
Investment Properties (6): Value $1.4Mill Owe $1.2Mill
Superannuation (Combined): $70K
Using some basic calculations*, in 2020 I think it will be more like:
PPOR: Value 800K Owe $240K
Investment Properties (6): Value $2.2Mill Owe $1.2Mill
Extra Cashflow after costs from rents on the above: $20K per annum
Superannuation (Combined): $240K
(*Some basic numbers I used to calculate this - I used a 5% average annual growth rate for capital growth & rents. I presumed I am keeping investment loans on Interest only. I allowed an average Interest rate of 7.47% over the period for the loans. I pay down PPOR with an extra 450 per month on top of P&I currently paid. I've also rounded everything down or up to be cautious).
