Starting a Roth IRA in their name and funding it from their earned income means they can become millionaires by the time they retire and have a supplemental income stream to the income stream they receive from their rental properties.

Is this something that's in lieu f a lease with the landlord, or a supplement?

I am working full time in San Diego and buying rentals now to supplement my retirement.

I'm currently a page designer for our newspaper, but I'm looking into real estate investment as a supplement to my income (better than just letting the markets handle my 401(k), I figure) and maybe a way to becoming my own boss one day.

These make great supplemental comps and may end of being what you use if the others you picked out visually bust out.After I have my list I try to make sure they have the same bedroom count, within 10% of the sf^2 and within 5 years of age of the subject. 

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).

I've been looking around the site for a few months but finally got a profile picture set up and figured its time to say hi.I've been working at an engineering company in the Lehigh Valley for almost 2 years (since I graduated college), looking to get started with buy and hold (or any strategy that would make sense at the time) in the next year or so to supplement my income and start working on long term growth.Looking forward to jumping into some conversations instead of just reading!

Some people don't want to turn this into a business, some are satisfied with just flipping a few contracts for the supplemental income.

I'm wondering if it is worth the cost to supplement my direct mail and PPC ads.Has anyone had direct success (a lead that came from a print ad) with small news or magazine print ads?

I'm looking to supplement my income, and use it to buy more properties down the road.I figure by selling the condo, and the $50k I have in savings I can start putting $40-50k down payments on places before the rate hike happens later this year.
