I'm 5 years from retiring, so I'm looking for a way to supplement my income.

With rentals, I consider my cash flow, consider my current vacancy factor (but look at overall vacancy in my market area), prepare a replacement schedule for major items that will need to be replaced over time.In your situation you may have credit available that might supplement cash reserves.

Emotional support and service animals aren't the same thing and there is no registry for emotional support animals.As someone else said, some states have laws that supplement national laws.

Possibly will add a system like 24beds to supplement with SmartBNB.

I was just happy to have a house in the SF Bay Area in California, and have my mortgage supplemented.

I took some time last night to reflect and figure out what I’m looking for and what I kept coming back to was: I want to use my property to supplement my monthly income and allow me to seize opportunities to purchase additional properties and repeat.

My plan was to do a few flips a year to supplement my husband's income and work on creating more cash flow through SFR rentals. 

The cashflow would then be supplemental retirement income for them.

I’d highly recommend trying to add in some small to slightly larger multi family (3-8 units) apartments as buy and holds to supplement your income down the road as you look toward retirement.

It may be different in other states, but I opted for a landlord's policy supplemented with a $1MM umbrella.
