My wife and I are very interested to do investing as a side project to supplement our incomes. 

I'll probably supplement their offer even if there is no way to limit my risk.

I have a full time job that I love, so it is very likely that real estate would just be a supplement to my income and hopefully a source of cash in retirement, but who knows what the future will bring!

I would not personally define my success by the amount of knowledge in real estate I have; I define it by how well I have been able to utilize that knowledge to reach, or facilitate, my major goals in life, one of which is to have enough supplemental income from my rental properties such that it + my pension, when I retire, provides me the same comfortable existence and large safety cushion as it did when I was working, and that being able to retire so young (early 50's) will allow me to reach some of my other goals, long time/distance traveling being one. 

I am looking for some rental property to provide a supplemental income stream when I retire.

I would like to build wealth and supplement my income.  

Hello,For the past few years I have been searching for a way to provide for my family and earn supplemental income.

It is wonderful when you can gather info from a Realtor that knows the area really well - but supplementing that information with your own data is important. 

I am looking to invest in real estate again to supplement my eventual retirement.
