This will help stream line your life and your business.

I worked extensively with a big time REI guy here in Tucson and was very hot and heavy to buy my first home but have decided to hold off while the values keep slipping in our area.I still have a very strong interest in securing some properties domestically in the next year or two, specifically income producing properties.Beyond that I am always open to any extra streams of income (legitimate ones) so hopefully I can find some info here on markets I may not have investigated yet.

I am just trying to stream line my business as much as i can so i make as much money as possible without cheating my customers or doing something illegal.

These days they want an 80% LTV , high FICO's and a year lease with the loan application to help cover the income stream.

If you can pick up a property cheap enough, find good renters and create a positive income stream.

While I think the author has makes valid point regarding the value of income streams, I found some put downs of traditional methods of investing off putting.That said the coverage of finding and buying a home is great.

Even though the income stream lies in the future.

I agree with this 100% Buying enough SFR's to obtain $1M in annual cash flow is working very hard, I would prefer to buy 1 or 2 100 unit apartment buildings to arrive at the same income stream but less work and working smarter.

Tenant web marketing/ data base, it is a big plus if you can instantly provide a stream of prospective tenants for open or opening units.

Its just another income stream for them aside from what they are doing but some of them are only selling products now after countless other real estate transactions.
