Hi everyone,I’m seeking advice on the best strategy to achieve a goal of $5,000/month in passive or active income starting with $200,000.I’m currently considering Texas, but I’m open to other states if they offer better opportunities.

the max i could offer and make the numbers work for me was 60K. 

Operating in an industry where "we track time," I can offer a few hopefully helpful tips:1.

If they pass that initial trial period, I offer a 6-12 month renewal. 

I’d recommend reaching out to see if any of them can offer a package deal for the sewer scopes you need.

Hi Jonathan,Jay’s Fencing (209-847-3992), Elite Iron Fencing (209-968-6685), and Fletcher Fencing (209-662-8298) are solid options to get bids from and compare.I also offer consulting services to help clients navigate projects like this—whether it’s evaluating bids, ensuring the scope of work is clear, or helping you avoid potential issues during the process.

Consider putting it toward another property, stocks, or even a high-yield savings account so it’s working for you instead of just sitting there.

Many distributors also offer financing and can give you an idea of what monthly loan payment you’d be looking at.

I emphasized the quick closing timeline and my ability to pay cash via hard money financing to strengthen my offer.
