And then extended to 'how will I supplement retirement?'. 

@Will Fraser I’ve dabbled with the idea of focusing on a VRBO property to supplement my cash flow issue.

Recently I’ve been catch a ton of flack on this forum for suggesting things like:1) Maximizing leverage while carrying hefty reserves.2) Buying for appreciation in western markets.3) Buying properties that barely cash flow (for appreciation) and following each up with a STR to supplement cash flow.I feel like the general vibe is hesitation.

Our future goal is to have cash flow income but we heard and read that at the beginning we might need a quick income to supplement our savings first.

I have a seller right now that needs to get out by month's end and I could use some guidance to get the deal.My short history-To supplement my J.O.B. income, I have built a new home and rehabbed homes while living in them.

Great way to supplement your income.

I think it would be safe to say that this was a bad investment and hemorrhaging monthly cashflow to supplement the mortgage would be a poor idea in the long run.

Of course remember to screen the actual leases and maybe even bank statements to supplement when you do receive them!

I am just starting the lead gen process in real estate but manage about $500k/month in online adspend on Google, Bing, etc.I am not an expert on DM yet, but I have several customers whom we have implemented complimentary remarketing campaigns to supplement their additional touches on Motivated sellers that take action.

In the end, all marketing pillars supplement each other.
