Supplementing the mortgage that way. 

Having a good income to supplement your investing can give you a huge advantage.

@Mark Sullivan It is a dietary supplement business.

You first have to do reverse engineer to figure out your future income when you retire and figure out the gap or supplement needed...

@Lillis Hawker, Given your situation of needing rental income to supplement a lower than desired salary, but also needing to obtain a place to live in your new location I think @Mark H.

Even if you don't use what you learned directly you still have the life experience not everyone has and the fortitude that you got it done. follow your dreams and make real estate the supplement or fall back on plan that you incorporate into being successful.

Thanks @April Vogt for the advice, do you mind expounding on what you get and maybe more importantly what you don't get when you use a co-host (Account Closed also mentioned supplementing with a co-host).  

Their is no reason to justify supplementing any tenants rent.Tell your tenant rent is rising to $550 in 60 days (assuming you are in a legal position to do so).

@Charlie Fitzgerald35I have other term and if I canceled the whole life I would then get more term to make up the difference.I have a pension through workIntended purpose was to have another stream of income for retirement to supplement my pension. 

Will join our local REIA as well to begin networking.I have a great job and want to continue to work full time and use REal Estate as a supplement and to build wealth for the future through buy and hold rentals.I would like to start to model  scenarios to get practice working the numbers- what source would you suggest I use to get a starting point for estimated rents in a specific area?
