To date, I've entered 50 MF deals, 14 of those have sold and 4 have gotten supplemental loans, returning more than my initial investment - a friend pointed out, I'm playing on the house! 

Even if you have a sugar momma or sugar daddy, we need to run a background check to ensure you are not a danger to the property or other tenants.

Like many new investors I thought that wholesaling would be good vehicle to use to build a piggybank to fund my goal of building a portfolio of rental properties (supplement my retirement) but it seems this method gets mixed opinions.

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. 

Hey Mark - In my analyses, if I rented out both units I'd receive a negative cash flow of around $200/month.If I lived in one unit the cash flow would be worse, but the rented unit would still supplement my living costs.You're right, the prospect of positive cash flow may get better down the road if I rent both units and rent appreciates in my market. 

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

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

@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.

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