Capital gain and rental income are not our main investment objective but it would be nice to supplement our living expenses.  

We are hoping to own several single family or multi family properties in the near future to supplement our cash flow in order to gain financial freedom and be able to retire early, travel, and not have to worry about a "9-5" job for the rest of our lives.

I'll try and supplement @Rick Stein's thoughts since what he stated is important, but many of us have a hard time accepting it without some perspective:When going into a vacancy/tenant screening situation its easy to get anxious about the dollars going out day by day.  

If anyone has any recommendations, that would be great so I can supplement what I find and hopefully discover some things I couldn’t find.

This is mainly a supplemental income stream for my family.

I am not chasing cash on cash returns to supplement my income so I would rather have great properties with paying tenants.  

My goal is to start aggressively (first purchase in the next 90-180 days) growing a portfolio of cash-flowing properties to supplement my primary income and eventually become involved full time in buy and hold real estate investing.

This implies that it is difficult to include the utilities in the rent without supplementing the rent.As utilities increase, the tenants pay this increase.  

Just selling 1-2 houses per year can really supplement your primary source of income.

You're right, I need a partner to supplement where I lack.
