We are both now feeling pressure to supplement our incomes and we are choosing the real estate route.

Or are you looking for a nice place in a great area and just want to supplement your income?

I know a rare few people who make a living doing it . . . though it can provide some nice supplemental income.I believe that a well equipt real estate investor is one that has a multitude of tools in their tool-belt.

I am new to investing and would like to use REI as a tool in the future to help supplement my income.

Tenants have options I do not.It sounds like you are supplementing their rent already so why not fill the oil tank at your expense to protect your property then give them the boot as soon as your costs over power your emotions.

I'm hoping that someday these will help supplement an early retirement :wink:.

We're looking for good cash flow from buy and hold properties (the goal is to have passive income to supplement some of my income so I can retire from my day job when we start a family- I guess that makes me a motivated buyer :).We're having trouble building a real estate team, and any recommendations y'all have would be so helpful!

My short term goal is to supplement my income.  

I feel it’s built a good base for me to start so now I’m looking to diversify and get into some more of these higher return markets to supplement, but I personally would have never gone straight into those markets if I didn’t have a stable base first.

With that going, I was ready to invest more, but he was not, so I am working on finding actual income for my family now, instead of supplementing our college fund.
