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).

I purchased my first home as a single gal in 1999, and I became a landlord in 2007 when he and I bought a house together and my little house became a rental.In 2012 we bought another rental together in North Central Austin, and have had really great luck with it.The current working plan is to try our hand at flipping while we still feel like working our butts off, and supplement with additional buy-and-holds along the way for retirement.Right now we're focusing on the preliminaries - educating ourselves, building a team and a network, and learning how to hunt down deals.So glad to be here!

I took First Tuesday courses by the way.I have been studying and reading all three books but there is only so much information that I could take in and I think to myself, I know that all of this material will not be on the test, only some of it.So my question to all you fine people out there, is there any supplemental education or book that does not cost much that will possibly go over what most likely be on the test?
