As you can suspect, I want to supplement this income with real estate investing, but the amount of time I have to dedicate is sparse.

Do you want to get out of corporate fast, or just start supplementing that income slowly so you can transition out?

I've probably bid on 30 Utah properties in the past 7 months and this is the only one that I won, so I agree that it sucks to continue to submit bids to only get outbid, but for a small investor like me, if I get 1-2 properties a year from an online auction site, then I've already accounted for 25% of my acquisition goals and then I just have to supplement the remaining 75% with other lead sources: wholesalers, MLS, finding my own deals from Craiglist, HUD homes, etc. 

@Valerie King many investors keep their jobs and use rental income to supplement their income.  

I have limited funds from an inheritance to invest in RE, and my husband doesn’t want to participate financially to supplement it.

So I got a package to leave a job I hated and which I would have quit if she hadn't laid me off.My intention was to do real estate full time, but pick up a little bit of accounting and tax work to supplement.  

In my opinion these are far more onerous to a landlord. 48 hours to accept the offer of a tenancy- Outrageous. 72 hours for supplemental information requested by the landlord!

The fees that you pay for a 401k don't buy you anything so why not have life insurance while you build your retirement for the same amount of money.Dmitriy Fomichenko I was saying that since it's only 20k that he should consider taking the tax hit now because he could make that same 20k work better in the IUL and all the earnings will be tax free.This strategy is not for everyone but I just wanted to share what my husband and I have decided to do to supplement our retirement.

It does not make scenes for a landlord to intentionally lose money by supplementing a tenants below market rent, It does not matter if they are a good tenant or not.
