. - I have real estate agents in my family My Outlook: - At the moment, I view real estate as a means to supplement my current income from my job.

I eventually want to go real estate full time but need a job to supplement me in the mean time.

I have some more questions which require some help to supplement my research.

@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?

For me the course along with some other supplemental books has been very much worth the price, and I has helped me to have confidence reaching out to brokers, PMs, etc to start searching for a deal.  

I have several older tenants probably paying half their monthly 'fixed' income to rent in a safe/secure area & they need to work part-time to supplement their lifestyle.http://www.wral.com/more-americans-spending-at-lea...

I do not believe in supplementing my tenants rent by being below average and see no reason why any landlord would.

The decision you need to make is based on whether you want to be a landlord long distance, take the normal risks associated with the business and most importantly can you afford to supplement your tenants rent if the cash flow is negative.

It can be supplemental but is not necessary.
