Im mainly looking for more passive ways of building sustainable long term wealth, not interested in the overnight success or endlesa days rehabbing homes, as this would be supplemental income.Thanks and look forward to learning more!

Honestly, I think you're going to have to come to terms with the fact that your time together will decrease until he can supplement his 2nd jobs income with his earnings from real estate...  

You want to be as thorough as you can especially if it's going to be supplementing income for your father, if your going to buy a small townhouse or condo that needs work you will want to do the same thing as well how much in repairs will it need how much of a down payment do you want to have etc. the numbers are very key in doing any real estate deal so make sure you try to be as accurate as you can in knowing how much it's going to cost in executing your plan Thanks, Michael 

So, while those seem like wasted fees, they are more like pre-paid expenses.Your taxes seem high, and I would question the transfer tax.If this is an FHA 203K, I don't see any hold back or inspection fees for when you need to draw from the 203K.I would push back on the supplemental origination fee. 

I purchased multiple tax props and am having a hard time findng reab money for sub30k homes, despite the hgh ROIs.  

My long-term goal here is to have a place of my own plus rental properties to supplement the income from my music.Thanks!

As for your question, my goal is to have enough cash flowing passive income from rental properties to supplement my military retirement in 8 years without reducing my families expenditures.  

I got a package containing a manual, some supplemental books with links to Internet resources, an audio CD and the account/password to their private-access Website (deal submission online form and other resources, such as basic real estate contracts in PDF format).

Well, I expect an estimating program to be, correct, not where I need to do dozens of supplements, that kind of defeats the entire point of a program to save time, when it costs me more.

I have a full time job so trying to supplement my income fully and grow a retirement portfolio.I’ve been following these forums for only a few weeks now, wish I had started earlier, but some terrific information and I look forward to being part of this fantastic community.So, just saying Hello to everyone!
