I own a 19 unit building in Berwyn where we have a Fannie Mae loan in place, and those have built in supplementals where you can access additional funds down the line.

There was a water bill for about $200 that put them even further behind, but they have been paying the rent every month from a Section 8 payment and supplementing the remaining payment themselves. 

Thank you @Dave SkowBeyond the SAFE MLO exam ... what recommendation can you offer for supplemental training? 

Probably all brokerages have plenty of online training, but that probably should be the supplement, not the primary type of training for new agents.Three questions I suggest you ask any brokerage is #1 to see the training room. 

My thought in that scenario is that we could purchase an investment property to "househack" and/or LTR/STR and start accruing cash flow to supplement our income. 

I am planning to rebuild and hoping insurance will cover most of the costs, but I might see if I can supplement that payout with some of my own funds to build something nicer than what I had before.

This information shall be supplemented within a reasonabletime upon changing the designated Local Contact.

Supplemental information is that I have a child from a prior marriage that lives here in town with their mother and I do not want to relocate away from them for at least a few years as they grow up. 

If you jump into RE full time and do other activities to supplement your income (wholesale, birddog, flip, realtor), then you create another job; though you might find more enjoyment in that than the current job like I did.Although there are a lot of DSCR lenders out there, one cautionary point is that without a track record or consistent results over a couple years in RE, banks will still see you as a debt risk without a regular W2 income when you make the jump.

At the end of the day, moving into a house hack that supplements your living expenses dramatically is always the right move.
