What I am trying to indicate is a bitter truth for those who pulled the trigger but it can serve as vitamin supplement for others.if the objective is cash flow I am better off renting $5K car on turo for monthly cash flow of $590 as reported on BP.I am not sure how much time you have spent in Indy but I spent one week last year and my email is flooded with listings on a daily basis.

The properties I have retained are for the purpose of supplementing my pension now that I am semi retired.Unlike most that leave their equity sitting dead in a property reducing their return in investment to nearly nothing my properties are as close to 100% financed as I can get them.

It may not be as big of a deal for you if the real estate activities will be more of a supplemental income stream (for now).

Im looking for a way to supplement (save $$) on a current system in one of my rentals and i am looking at having a Hyper-Heating H2i System installed-supposedly it can cool and heat within temperature paramaters.

Before this opportunity came about we were planning on buying a house and moving out of this rental anyway and our ceiling was 300k but thought we could stretch it a bit for a good deal/to stay where we are with the upgrade of moving to the other, bigger nicer unit/and have the supplemental income for not so much work.

Hi Dan, I have been an airbnb host in Chicago (Lakeview and Gold Coast) for three years and have found it to be great supplemental income.

If you run your business in an ethical, BUSINESS-LIKE manner your odds of getting involved in a lawsuit are pretty darn slim.I would suggest that a much better investment would be to explore taking a few BUSINESS AND CONTRACT LAW classes at your local University, and supplement that with a REAL ESTATE LAW class that's in conformance with the Continuing and Professional Education standard for RE Agents in your state.The purposes of these classes is NOT to turn you into a lawyer, but it's like the Law classes generally taken by Business majors and MBA candidates in Universities; to teach you WHEN TO CALL A LAWYER.all cash

There is no one size fits all method, there's no real wrong answers, as long as one is committed to doing the things necessary to improve their life, I believe real estate can supplement any goal or lifestyle.

The income from the multi-family would be enough to save, maintain, and modestly supplement my income.

I use my rentals as a way to propel and supplement my passions.
