I will be moving likely within the next 8-12 months or so, and my wife and I are planning on renting out our house, so that's how I figure we will start.I've got a pretty good gig going with the AF so this will be more of a supplemental thing for me at least in the beginning so I would say I'll probably be taking a more passive role to start, although I'm open to anything.I spent the last two years as a recruiter so I've gained some valuable experience in Human Resources, advertising and marketing, cold calling, as well as general salesmanship so I think I can find a way to use those skills in this venture.

(I am a Realor in Greenville, SC)  But in a perfect world, I don't want to have to sell our current house because I owe so little on it, the mortgage is so cheap per month, and think I should rent it out to help supplement the mortgage of house #2. 

I'm looking for general advice and discussion to supplement my own research. 

I would like to start looking at investing for myself and get some supplemental income at this point.

@Joseph SkatesI'm not sure I clearly understand your question.If your business is collecting waste then you will most likely have a couple of possible revenue streams: a dumping fee you may/may not charge to folks who bring the waste two you;scrap fees you may collect on sale of the various component elements you extract from the electronics.Depending on where you are, there may be a provincial program which will supplement one of those revenue streams (kid of like the tyre levies charges my many/most provinces).  

(unless you have to)  If you have the money, pay a contractor to supplement the work you are doing on the weekends. 

My name is Scott and i'm 50 years old and looking to supplement my future retirement with real estate investments. although i would like to avoid mistakes that could hurt my pocket.

I'm offering gap funding to supplement hard money and I want to connect with HMLs that are actively investing in San Antonio/Austin.

Right now, the only way to do that is if I can supplement with vacation rentals. 

So i am Using the GI bill to pay for college, but I also got approved for $6,300 this year in financial aid (Pell Grant/Federal Supplement Grant).
