Initially I'd like to supplement my income with one or two rental properties; As I gain experience and knowledge I would like own multifamily properties and possibly explore flipping houses.

We supplement that with pure rentals on the side.

It seems like a good balance of rental homes (steady cash flow) and side projects like home flips and wholesale (one time cash flows) would be a decent way to earn supplemental income.Well glad to be apart of the site now and hope to learn a lot and one day earn a coveted spot being interviewed by Brandon and Josh on the pod cast!

I would not use as a basis to invest but as simply supplemental information to selecting areas of predicted growth.

We also have the amateurs, the once in a while types, most in RE are, this is not their profession or main source of income and it supplements many very well.

I'm a music producer/engineer/songwriter (a successful one, thankfully :mrgreen:) , getting into REI as a source of supplemental income, although the more I learn about it, the more time I'm interested in investing in it, so who knows, maybe one day the percentages will be reversed...

At that time, my current job would pay me 70% of my salary at the time...I also have my 401k and IRA to supplement that to (hopefully) pretty close to 100% of that salary.Like I said, I just turned 39.

Either refinance, replacing your current loan with a new, bigger mortgage, or get a second mortgage to supplement your existing loan.

I also spent the last 3 years using online poker to supplement my income, which has worked nicely.

My wife and I began investing in Real Estate in 2011 as a retirement vehicle to supplement our 401K's, SS, and her pension (honestly we are not relying on SS).
