Absolutely, the passive income from owning rentals is great but I also love getting into big projects and seeing the transformation from start to finish@David Jesperson What city/market are you looking to buy and what type of properties are you looking for, SF, 2-4 MF, or 5+ MF?

Does anyone know where you could find median income data by area in Portugal?

Investing in multifamily properties offers steady cash flow, diversification, as multiple tenants reduce vacancy risks and provide consistent income.

I don't know what they tell you in CA but here in NY we are suppose to reject any sort of income during the time of the eviction.

Six figure income is still impressive for any residential SFR..optimally rates improve and so will rates of return with a refinance.

One thing I know for sure is that my happiness is not determined by my income, but how I grow doing the things I love to do.I hope Vestright has some success by showing integrity in their offering.

This is how I see it:Single-Family Homes:Pros:Larger pool of potential tenants (families).Simpler management (one tenant, one lease).Often easier to finance.May appreciate faster in some markets.Cons:Only one income stream.Vacancy hits harder financially.Duplexes:Pros:Two potential income streams.Live in one unit and rent the other (house hacking!)

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Jay HinrichsWhen I looked into it - I viewed it more as those who teach infinite banking etc (note that is not what tardus does - they teach what they call income snowball)Similar to infinite banking - it’s a strategy and you pay to learn the strategy - but whatever you invest in is up to you.

You may find this a viable option with rates where they are, especially if your rental income continues to cover the mortgage.Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): If your property qualifies, you could use a HELOC to access the equity without disturbing the current mortgage.

If you're really wanting real estate as a "passive" income I would look more into syndication investing and hard money lending.
