In an effort to publicly state goals, gain insight from other (and more experienced) investors, and write down lessons learned, this is a run on stream of thoughts about all that investing involves.My goal for 2017 was to purchase 6 buy-and-hold properties, your typical 1% deals, all within my local metro area.

If you need income now - plan on using non-qualified (non-retirement) funds to make investments and build income stream, in which case all of the income and gains will be taxed in the year you receive it.

It can be simply the day of the week, the feeling you have at the moment, or as simple as watching a movie to make up your mind.

How do you stream line this process?

Not only paying them above average returns (15% annually w/ 3 yr hold) but also teaching them about financial freedom looking to create more streams of income apposed to piles of money ("Rich Dad , Poor Dad") In terms of financing , I was blessed enough to connect with my older brothers high school friend whom I knew was an entrepreneur for quite some time.

Did he specify what "pushback" he's getting creating income streams for those institutions and lenders? 

I have a guaranteed stream of income without having to put on a roof or replace an AC unit or fix a toilet.

I hope to use this use agreement to either make my property more appealing or as a separate revenue stream.

Many HOA management companies have created an extra revenue stream for themselves by charging hundreds of dollars for a small amount of clerical work when a home is sold.

.- My parents are getting close to retirement, and I imagine they may want to have a steady stream of income.What kind of creative solutions can you think of between parents/child  that would not normally be easy to pull of because both parties don't know and trust each other?
