And more houses would come more quickly after that if I continued to work (as I'd be supplementing my w2 income quite a bit at this point).However, at 50k, these houses will be "cash cows", and probably attract a certain kind of tenant which may not be easy to manage.

We have photos, contracts, texts and witnesses to supplement our claims.If anyone has any advice regarding contractors and court we would love to hear what ever you have to say!

I am looking at rentals as a way to supplement my income and retirement.  

One option is to keep them all and use the rent to supplement my pension. 

I'd like to grow my portfolio to the point where it can match my primary income so that my retirement plan can supplement my real estate income.I found Bigger Pockets after buying and listening to an Brandon Turner's "The Book on Managing Rental Properties" after I had moved out of my condo and was prepping it to be rented out.

Supplemental health insurance here can be difficult for small companies and owner operators ... but there are often professional associations (such as those for consultants and realtors) which collectively purchase insurance for their members.With one of my previous companies we had a sales office in Raleigh, NC ... health insurance in your country was a serious burden for a small company.

I don't think flips are really a big thing in this state, at least I'm not aware of many people that do them.Long term goals are to be able to acquire enough properties to be able to retire at a modest age with income to supplement my 401k which I continue to contribute to healthily. 

He is an inspiration to someone who aspires to be a big hitter as well as the person who wants a retirement supplement.

I would like there to a Realty devision (buying & selling residential), a Property Management devision, and a home inspection devision (only because my husband is with the FD so he could inspect houses on the side - for monetary supplement and for any houses I want to invest in).

Use that to supplement any other opportunity that exists...
