I was concerned about the potential electric bill because winters in Wisconsin can be pretty brutal.In reality I kept the temperature at a comfortable level and never had an electric bill that went higher than $90 to low $100s.i loved it.

My goal with REI is to ensure a comfortable lifestyle through a smart and diverse holdings and attain true financial independence; I also want to help other like-minded individuals and do the same! 

Your note and offer to help is quite comforting. 

That really depends on your comfort level.

Wholesaling is probably my least familiar area as far as the process of getting it on contract and then finding a buyer and the closing process, although the more I learn the more comfortable I feel with the overall process.I have enough experience with REI to know that it will be my future method of generating full time income, at this point mainly through rehabbing and rental properties.

I just saw a 4-unit on Comfort street that seemed interesting.I looked a lot near park Ave (so upper Monroe/East Ave), and there are a lot of options there.

Comfort level of risk comes into play as well, but has anyone crunched any numbers to determine what's the best path long term?

I am comfortable with $30-40k per year - and maybe this might make the best sense.

So for all who have been following my previous thread, I've decided to apply the brakes a bit and work on building up capital to invest comfortably.

My end goal is to get another stream of income that will take me into a comfortable retirement.
