I also made a second channel for supplemental info but not directly related to long term holding.

But whatever you choose can all supplement each other.

Glad to see you around, and wish you great success as you continue to build a portfolio...and then pay it off.  5 houses paid-for will nicely supplement your retirement income. 

@Steve WilliamsHi Stevedo you need the cash flow to supplement your current income?  

I guess some investors prefer to supplement their tenants rent rather than have to work to earn maximum return.I wake up every morning with the goal of making more money every day as opposed to being satisfied with diminished income due to erosion through the increased cost of living.

I definitely want to pursue becoming an agent at the very least to use it to supplement my real estate investing.

My main goals are to build wealth and supplement my families income with rental properties or whatever investment makes sense here in Colorado where the housing/land prices are very high and climbing.My wife and I have some disposable income and are wondering what the best approach to taking advantage of the rising housing costs here.

If you are not allowed it is a moot point.If it is allowed why do you want to supplement your tenants rent and why do you think she will leave, why do you care if she leaves.

You can supplement your income, receive tax advantages, create wealth and build a sizable portfolio that you can have professional management run for you.  

thank you both for the responses. ok so here is a little background. he owned his own general contracting biz years ago. got out of that , he currently works full time as a maintenance facilities foreman at a school district. but he is very active in doing side jobs. he  has many connections in the trades. so essentially this would be an on going relationship for us. as he is looking to supplement his income. and hopefully do it full time to quit his job. he is very experienced and trustworthy. does excellent work as he has remodeled my basement.
