Hello all -I have been thinking of getting into realestate investment for a while with a goal of generating income stream (today my only income Is through my job - I make decently as a senior exec). 

--Again, unpopular BP opinion, but books are written to sell, podcasts are made to generate subscribers, etc etc. 

Curious to get your take on this and maybe have some further discussion about ways to make CRE generate more cash flow and after purchase appreciation. 

Less than $300K in a mortgage, generating $4,000/month in rent.

I don't want to keep putting money into repairs on something that will never generate a return.

Use the HELOC on cash-generating opportunities like flips, then use the cash generated to buy long-term buy and hold investments. 

These properties would generate income, provide tax advantages, and appreciate in value until they were ready to retire.

For example, I see newer investors attempting wholesaling or bird-dogging for other investors to generate additional income to invest.
