My endgame is to end up with $300k/yr in post-mortgage income in 20 years based on investments I make now followed by continued investments over the next 10-15 years own.

Projected annual income is 20% of the purchased price.  

Im doing it more for the love of learning the process and to make a side income.  

Here are a few tips to help you get started:Financing: Since you’ll be starting your internship soon, lenders may look at your projected income or require a co-signer until you have a longer work history.

Hi @Andy S. 3x monthly rent for income has worked well. 

The intent of getting a sales agent license is to educate myself in Real Estate and create some additional income.

At this point, I would recommend having a line of credit to cover these things so you don't have money sitting in the bank doing nothing when it could be put to work.I have 33 units, no debt except for mortgages, and excellent income.

I am invested in a small multi family in TX and the management was not able to fill the property and do repairs and the income has dwindled badly.

Too many low income apartment buildings near by / vacant buildings. 

We saw huge appreciation in the 2018-2022 inflation run up, but that has significantly slowed these days in my opinion.From a rental perspective your monthly income per unit after all expenses with a typical 20% down payment is likely $100-300 when you find a property that will cash flow.
