I have a full time job and I am looking to use REI as a tool to supplement retirement in 10-15 years.

My goals in real estate is for it to supplement if not replace my current income.

I am new to real estate investing, my only real estate experience is that I bought my first house about a year ago and I currently rent out some of the rooms to make some supplemental income.

On my Federal tax it is filed as a schedule E form 1040 (supplemental income and loss).

HUD uses data from rent surveys for 2 bedroom units, supplemented by general rent trends in smaller areas that may not generate enough data in rent surveys on an annual basis, to calculate the amount of rent paid.

Mine---to be able to contribute to the things I believe & to establish some steady supplemental income so that I don't always have to work Monday through Friday unless I choose to

Another option is to supplement your income as a investor with a job that coincides.  

If the area is easily graded, I would consider putting in some basic landscaping to supplement and disguise a water relief route.  

I am currently working full time in an architecture firm and I am looking to supplement my current salary with real estate investment income.Listening to countless BP podcasts has inspired me to stop wasting time daydreaming about what could be and take action!

This is supplemented by one and only real estate investment, a vacation rental condo I bought for cash 2.5 years ago at the bottom of the market.
