Larger brokerages sometimes are in need of administrative work, which could earn you a steady income while also getting exposure to the field. 

There are areas outside the Tahoe basin with a short drive that can provide for solid short term or long term income streams and still pull in the Tahoe goers.

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 need current income, I'd recommend another fix/flip.

@Chris,Interesting points but I don't look for FHA or Fannie/Freddie loans as my income varies quite a bit and I deal mainly in commercial properties so I'm usually getting a commercial loan that originates from a bank or credit union.

If you are sole member LLC you just take a distribution from your business account to your personal account.You are likely already reporting the income on a schedule E.

They’re a great way to generate passive income with minimal hands-on involvement.Looking forward to hearing more about your goals!

Last thought (mainly for future readers), you may be talking about the 1 year FHA history if you have variable income.

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

This does not matter if the tenant is off a bit on rent and income.
