Most of those who doubted me worked until 65 to afford retirement & now work menial part-time jobs to supplement their income.

I also made use of credit cards (balance transfer) to supplement my funds to buy an investment property in cash - about 40k payable in 12 months for 2% transaction fee.

Originally posted by Will Russell: The seller receives supplemental security insurance and can only have a maximum of $1,500 in their bank account.

Dues from its membership fees generally don't cover the annual operating expenses, so they supplement their income by bringing in national speakers that do have a product to sell.

You're not likely to find anyone wanting to assume a Freddie SBL because you can't get a supplemental on it.

I'd have love to have bought it, but the rents wouldn't come close to covering the mortgage and I'm not in a position to supplement the difference until I could cash in. 

To begin with, I am not seeking cash flow to supplement my own cash flow, but to be reinvested towards future property purchases. 2) Long term I would really seek to own a fairly large portfolio of rental properties (Single and Multi-Family) that will initially replace what would be my wife's income and then potentially mine down the road. 

I guess my ultimate goal would be to be able to go down to part time at my current job as a nurse practitioner and supplement my income with passive cash flow from my assets so I can eventually spend more time with family and have more freedom.

The bank required I get supplemental on one of them due to the value.

I'd rather leave the properties that need a lot of work to the house flippers (and even those seem to be selling at 177k), I'd prefer to not start out with a huge monthly expense while coaxing a house into positive cash flow with supplemental money, and putting half or more down will make getting started like trying to drive with the breaks on.
