We treat flips as supplemental or "bonus" income.

*shrug* You can certainly make a spam email account and get added to a mailing list or two, and supplement your redfin lurking with seeing if anything arriving at that email address is a good fit.Often there are extra hoops you will encounter.

I plan on keeping my "day job" for several more years and have the rentals to supplement my retirement income when I'm really old :) 

I am trying to ingest as much info and education that I can and figured I would ask this question here…Goals: To have a supplemental income when I retire in 8 years and enough knowledge and capital to try to pursue real estate investing full time in retirement.We have about $400,000 available to us in equity in our home if we did a heloc but with interest rates going up, it seems way more risky to go that route.

If you can house hack a duplex which supplements you rent and pays down principle to something that is less that net $500 /month, then  that's the way to go.. 

I would like to build a portfolio that produces adequate cash flow at retirement to help supplement income, etc. 

My #1 goal is to one day grow a portfolio of single family homes + small multi-family homes that cash flow positively, and years from now produce enough monthly income to greatly supplement (and eventually replace) my income from my job (aka, retiring in my 30s).Thanks!

I have two beachfront condos and im looking to supplement my current insurance with better hurricane insurance and add flood insurance. 

I happen to enjoy my W-2 job, so my goal has been to supplement that with cash flowing properties that will provide additional income now and in retirement when they are (hopefully) paid off. 

I learned about supplemental taxes when you purchase.
