They can be useful to increase cash flow, IF you don't care if your property is passed on to your heirs. By the time you die, the mortgage on the property will be pretty hefty, and if your kids are in good enough financial shape to bail it out then, maybe you could sell to them now and reserve a life estate, to get more income.
