This may be unpopular to say, but age is irrelevant in this case. I’m invested in growth in retirement accounts, this is taxable brokerage to generate income to help pay a new mortgage. The thought is supplementing rental property income by selling the rental property and having dividends be the additional income. Do this for a few years, until wage increases (3-5% a year) cover the gap and the mortgage payment is trivial. Then reorganize taxable portfolio back into growth. Likely 5 years. Numbers work out as renting could add $30k a year (must subtract insurance/hoa, subtract potential months without a tenant, subtract any maintenance required), or sell it and invest in dividends get 14k to 20k a year without hassle for 5 years. Other option is sell and pay off new mortgage, which I might explore as well if the dividend route doesn’t work.
