After I resold the home I received a Supplemental Property Tax bill using the price I paid for the house in June (~$250k) as the new assessed value. 

Although, I have a stock portfolio that has been mildly profitable and I have supplemented my income with stock sales.

That industry continues to evolve (not necessarily in a good way for salespeople) and I want to find a way to supplement my income now with the goal of doing it full-time.Which leads me to my first question: I have some money I can invest to get started but not sure what avenue to pursue.

I'm looking to learn the ins and outs of the business and to decide if this is a viable path to supplement (and possibly replace) my full time job as an operations manager for FedEx Ground. 

My background is in Human Resources and Payroll Accounting and my degree is in Business Management.Teaming up with a dear friend, I started REI training with mentorship, supplemental resources and technical support.

Says Rowling: "If you have real estate as a supplement to an investment portfolio and IRAs and other retirement income, then that can be a very good thing."

Currently my goal is to gain experience while supplementing my current income.

In the next few months I'll be starting to put a team together; I'm looking at the Cincinnati or Dayton OH area for my first property.My plan is to use REI as a way to supplement my income (my day job is physical therapy) and build a nice RE portfolio to allow my family to travel and retire by the time I'm 55.I want to thank everyone who contributes to this site, the information on here is awesome.Look forward to connecting!!

I had the income from the duplex and also did a flip on the side to supplement my income.I built my first house in 2007 in Baltimore actually but it was more like, I was a corporate employee of 12 years, I wanted the nice house with the picket fence, so I built it. 

I was considering a third purchase- out of state turnkey property, short term vacation rental, SFH, codo, etc then I started doing some thinking...My ultimate goal is to own enough property within the next 5 years to supplement my income and cut back substantially.
