My plan is to use real estate to supplement my income and advance my potential retirement date.

With your opening statements you are hoping to supplement your agents lack of knowledge - which is fine if you have the experience to do this and you are only using your agent to write offers etc. 

Don't forget to take some action in supplement of gaining the education in Real Estate!

Short term I just am looking to supplement my income.  

I think my goal is to create sufficient enough cash flow that allows me to first supplement my income, then leave the 9-5 grind altogether, but that could change as I delve deeper into each topic. 

I'm also looking into wholesale niche to supplement when my Rehabs are going on.Well it's nice to meet you : )

I'm happy to start earning supplemental passive income and also excited to see how much I can grow real estate into a new career.Ray

I'm looking to start earning supplemental passive income and expand my network. 

I just can't do the stairs anymore.Financially, I know we'd benefit from moving to a smaller house with less acreage, but since I married a man 8 yrs my junior who loves raising livestock, and since I love where we live, we've decided to supplement our social security disability with REI instead so we can earn the money needed to upgrade/remodel our house to make it more mobility friendly for the future.But you all gave me a great idea to think about - carve out a niche to target the Baby Boomer market in our area.

If I were you, I would look to the plan you described above as a supplement to your current lead-generation activities instead of as a primary source for leads.All that said, this is just one man's opinion based on his experience.Thanks,
