Well, I can certainly agree with your last sentence. We rather disagree on what that overhaul should look like.
As for the retiree's, most of those I know who didn't sell was because they wanted the security of an annual rental income. They didn't want to risk selling the ground and running out of the cash while they were still breathing.
They weren't holding land off the rental market. Of course, they were benefiting from the farm subsidies that way too. how could you run out of cash? Current income streams are 2 1/2 times rental rates. And that’s just the interest. The principle will be there till you quit breathing. Anther fallacy.Edit too add; I can design a plan for a 65 year old couple to draw 8 1/2% annually and very unlikely they’d outlive the income stream. I can design another that would guarantee they don’t. Two different plan designs. Pluses and minuses to each. Let the client decide which fits their situation better.
