Not sure how real estate didn't occur to me before this as a form of passive income but here we are.I know a good deal about how buildings go together and navigating jurisdictions but I'm new to the financial side of things and am excited to dig into this site and other resources to develop my more holistic understanding of the built world.

Steve's point was essentially: Section 8 rentals can be an excellent strategy IF this is part of a holistic, well-thought-out business plan.

As all good investment strategies aim to give you a good return, a more holistic way to look at that is how the investment fits with your lifestyle/and or comfort level of risk.

I don't necessarily want to make real estate investing my fulltime career, but a very lucrative side hustle to my own business in holistic wellness and urban farming.In 2009, I WAS looking to make real estate investing my fulltime career, mostly as a wholesaler but I've since realized that I do not have a passion for that particular niche, but I do love the flexibility, cash flow, and wealth creation that building a healthy property portfolio provides.At any rate, I look forward to FINALLY engaging with people on the forums, learning, DOING, and sharing with others.

The only thing that comes close to this holistic strategy with WL, in my opinion, is an investor who knows how to use and really work self-directed accounts… but even those aren’t helping with money to use TODAY, and they have their own limitations.

If you look at the situation holistically, you aren't increasing your cash flow at all.
