Supplement my deferred expenses with income from elsewhere?

I see no reason to supplement a tenants rent out of fear of turnover, tenants come and go all the time and it is rare, when managed properly to actually have a vacancy.I prefer to select my own tenants as most landlords do not properly screen applicants..

I'm looking to be able to quit my full time job and have real estate supplement my income, but I'm scared to go all in, especially with a young family and things like health insurance.I'm looking forward to expanding my knowledge and interacting with people here who've been successful in achieving financial independence through real estate!

I am researching for Buy and Holds over the next 10 years to supplement retirement.  

The ultimate goal is a healthy retirement income that equals or exceeds out W2 income to supplement the IRAs, and provide enough to continue growing faster than inflation lol.

I also have a credit/equity partner interested in doing some deals.Trying to come up with a game plan on supplementing and ultimately replacing the oilfield income.

I have long had an interest in investing in real estate and am in the process of educating myself so I can come out swinging.My goals for the future are pretty basic: I hope to secure a job in Florida and begin investing with my father to supplement my income.

@Mike D'Arrigo I'm really not sure besides the fact that I'd like to supplement my income in the long run and be able to prepare for retirement.

As we get older, we are looking at investment opportunities to supplement our incomes.

Yes interest is high, but in my case, where we are able to build the houses and all...... we will have several properties under one note which will help us and we are not looking for a quick return but rather supplemental income.
