For me, it’s another stream of income, but more importantly, it provides my clients with more than just one option.

I wouldn't balk and selling a place with a bunch of equity, but my goal right now is a long term stream of cash while my property value rises.Honestly, I am thinking of doing both to diversify.

I should add a bit about valuation:You should value the property not as if you are buying real estate, but rather you are buying a stream of cash flow.  

Chapter 13 means there is a significant asset or income stream from somewhere. 

I am recently married and want to build a residual income stream so that I can spend more time at home, with the ultimate goal of not having to travel for work at all.I am looking for a partner, but you can read about that on my profile, since no sales pitches are allowed here.

If you have found a guy who can teach you how to add significant income streams pay him gladly and pay attention.

Well if I had unlimited VA's I would have them start typing on unlimited keyboards until one of them wrote the worlds best screenplay or book, which I would then have published and sell the movie and toy rights :)

After 2 years of owning it, not only has it generated a steady stream of positive cash flow, but we have applicants bending over backwards to rent it out, and it has increased in value by $200K!  

I'm looking for $150,000, which would provide enough of an income stream that would let me do this full time.I'm open to traditional and non traditional loans, investments, financial partners, or any other ideas that may be out there. 

Tax benefits, depreciation, step up in basis, taxes down the road, income streams, lump sums, etc.
