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.

Where a tenant is evicted for owner occupancy after December 18, 1998, that unit is designated as the owner's unit for purposes of subsequent owner-occupancy evictions, unless the owner's disability or other similar hardship prevents occupancy of that unit.Tenants who are 60 years old or who meet the disability guidelines for federal Supplemental Security Income and who have lived in the unit at least 10 years, or tenants who are catastrophically ill and who have lived in the unit for at least 5 years, have a protected status and cannot be evicted for either the owner or the owner's relative to move into a building of 2 units or more.

I'm a 26 y/o professional and looking for both financial stability in the long-run, as well as supplemental income in the short-run.

I am considering using a 401k loan to supplement my cash on hand for down payment and initial reserves (for a 4 unit investment property).
