I'm looking into Real Estate for a couple of different reasons: I want to supplement my current income in homes of "retiring early" and doing Real Estate full time as I'm very interested in it, I find Real Estate much more interesting and exciting than the Stock Market, and lastly, I would like to get involved in something more personable hands-on in my spare time. 

Will it cash flow with you living there, or just supplement your mortgage payment and expenses a bit?

I see 3 issues, financial, emotional, professional :Financial - The CARES act has provided unemployment benefits and supplements on top mostly.

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.
