Make sure the cash flow is secure with high quality tenants.Eliminate all personal debts.Secure your personal income streams (work / education / skill development) for yourself and your family.Leave yourself a cash emergency fund that can cover a year's worth of all personal and real estate expenses.These first few properties should be completely paid off.

Erick, as you know these HOA auction buyers are looking for income stream.

They have 6 people come back with hazmat bio suits on ( looks like something from a movie lol ) with enclosed head gear and respirators.

I want to create a alternate revenue stream on the long run.

The same is applied for business startups, inventions to funding small movie productions.Now the "Crowdfunding" term has morphed into mortgage lending, and nobody seems to have or want a more specific terminology.

I would like to add and piggy back on comment by @Jean Bolger that if Account Closed is looking to create income stream that she could use now, they Participant Loan options of the Solo 401(k) need to be investigated.Amanda, since you own a small business, you could qualify for the Solo K and then take personal loan from it, the funds then can be used for a down-payment on the property that you would personally own.

Maybe I watch too many movies, but something intimidates me about a man eager to liquidate his famous vegas strip club and gun range!

Apparently they just dont have the man power to service anything unless there is a clear revenue stream for them I mentioned that I had heard that the REO market was taking off and must be sending more business their way.

Multiple income streams Baby!!!

Can you increase the rents, change the usage, or add another income stream from the property?
