I'm a recent college grad looking to build a steady stream of passive income outside of my current job.  

"Good Debt" works when tenants pay the rent, but good debt becomes bad debt when that rental income stream dries up for any reason.Some people thrive on going through the rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches cycle multiple times ["nothing ventured, nothing gained"], but for me, I believe the slow-and-steady-wins-the-race approach of the tortoise over that of the hare.

Tina and Joseph go back to the same bank and get a home equity loan for $360,000 to buy a turnkey rental property in Jacksonville run by an extremely reputable management company that provides a steady $200 in cashflow a month, great passive investment with excellent appreciation potential, just like the BP community told her.For the next five years they continue to pay off the original mortgage and the home equity loan, and by 2013 they owe $70,000 on the original mortgage and $305,000 on the home equity loan.
