A counter that is accompanied with supplemental information (comps, property condition, neighborhood information, etc...) can help.

How about a high steady monthly income stream to supplement their retirement with no cap gains tax and a better rate of return.

I see this is an old post, but lease backs ARE now legal as can be described in in HAFA Supplemental Directive 11-02 March 30, 2011.

My goal is to generate an alternative income stream to supplement my salary.

From other posts, I understand that you have defined additional ways of supplementing your income if circumstances warranted it.

My primary income has been rental income, supplemented with some insurance work.

I haven't been able to bring myself to do this yet, because I am, actually trying to do the right thing, and pay back my debts, even if that means living from paycheck to paycheck.I wish I were a major bank, that way I could just get a large bailout, while sitting in my private jet, and and just start over, but such is my luck...I'm just a normal hardworking, mom of four, living on mainstreet, while homeschooling my children, because I believe in family and I believe in helping friends in need, and I want to help supplement my hard working husband's two jobs.

I have 2 rentals (one I previously lived in and converted into a rental, and the other purchased as a rental) Question: Does it make sense to put forth as much $$ as possible toward the two rentals...in order to pay them off within the 6yrs of active military service I have remaining....to more effectively (recieve 100% rental income from both rentals) supplement my retirement??

I want to develop a consistent RE wholesaling business to supplement my retirement.

Building up to a million is most likely over time...Or, reinvesting profits could easily build wealth...but not likely to literally make a million from wholesaling alone.There is no doubt however that it could offer some significant income on its own if you do it full time or add a very nice supplemental income as a second job.
