I'm looking to supplement my income and build wealth by buying a multi-family property that I will owner occupy starting June 2018.  

That's great to supplement income, but in terms of buying more rentals that's a bit of a slower plan.

It will be beneficial in two years to claim I have an supplemental flow of income via my property, however, I will not be able to fully show that unless I am claiming the income on my tax returns within those years.  

I am a full-time teacher looking to get into real estate to supplement my income.

I currently work as an engineer at an oil and gas company, but I want to use real estate to supplement my current income with rental property passive income.

I am  new to real estate and have a basic understanding of the various ways to add supplementary income by talking to friends and reading various blogs and books I am interested in supplementing my income and was interested in mutli family unit rentals , flipping and wholesaling .
