Hello,I am a general contractor with part tIme crew, they are skilled and trustworthy but I can’t hire them full time because I do not have steady stream of revenue, we specialize in kitchen and bathroom remodel, during summer we are quite busy but thIngs slow down startIng Oct till late Feb / March.

We love to be outdoors (hiking, biking, fly fishing etc) which is why we’re searching for a farm area that would also be a good hub to adventure out of.

Always keep in mind when investing in income properties that every property has two separate income streams.

I would like to build assets to create a solid passive income stream that can replace my 9-5 income. 

Available lines of credit and a steady stream of extra money from your w2 job can’t mitigate that risk .

However, after reading, and reading, and reading some more, I'm thinking of changing that goal to not only be able to pay cash for a home, but to also build an income stream through rentals. 

The thing about a house in a heavily wooded area is that there is a never ending stream of mice looking to get in.

Always consider the source.Hateful tenants are generally by nature outside the normal stream of society.

What I have observed in several instances is that people are really not purchasing an investment or a revenue stream.

To break through this initial struggle, stay positive and rely on that network of contacts you have been building.Look for Multiple Streams of IncomeNew investors generally want to be in the rehab world.
