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

I'm coming here as a supplement of sorts or a resource for anecdotal advice or heck, what do I have to lose by tapping into the community that knows these waters much better than me. 

If you want to supplement the proceeds with cash from other sources so the mortgage is lower that is fine.

We hope to supplement our regular income slightly (maybe paying myself a monthly management fee) while significantly increasing our wealth/retirement.

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).  

We  (my wife and I) run 2 businesses (Nutrition shop and Web Development) that brings in a enough to sustain us along with investment money that brings in about $5,500 monthly.

We have, on occasion, put in a supplemental window unit if the CHA wasn't able to keep up and it became an ongoing issue. 

I would add the supplement to the Partners for Good Housing where the page explains hazards associated with lead water supply piping and requires landlord's disclosure of any lead water supply piping.And what about smoking policy disclosure?

Come see me in the Maurepas room and download your white paper from below as a supplement.  

After realizing that the cost of buying a home, or even renting an apartment, was incredibly expensive I started looking for ways to supplement my income in order to afford my own place.
