Chinese Man Retires Early After Buying 14 Old Flats, Shifts to Dividend Investments
Fan Junjie, a 30-year-old man from Jilin, China, achieved early retirement by purchasing 14 older flats in Changsha, spending over 2 million yuan (around Rs 2-3 crore). Starting in 2023, he focused on affordable, small apartments near Xiangya Hospital, renting out 11 units to generate about 210,000 yuan (Rs 29 lakh) annually. Finding property management challenging, Fan plans to shift his investments to dividend-paying stocks and funds, viewing rental income and dividends as similar sources of regular earnings.
