The ones with 6 adults that smoke with a bunch of kids and cousins with no job and an old semi that needs to be parked somewhere - do you want them at your open house?? 

@Douglas Snook It looks like this lady is a semi-professional then.

My full time career is as an executive chef for a semi-private golf club in New Jersey.

They have on-line banking, an app and semi-inconvenient ATMs.

The house is a 2bed 1bath semi detached house I am buying for $20k cash.

Any semi experienced Real Estate Investor will see right through you.

For my next adventure I went into mill work at a semi-local lumber mill and from there transitioned into graphics installation (mostly wrap installation & removal on vehicles) for the last 9 years.

My goal of getting into REI is to generate passive income to allow me to semi-retire in 10 years and live a more flexible lifestyle.

The previous town manager (held the post for 30 years, transitioned Eagle from a rural ranching area of less than 1,000 to a semi-resort area of 7,000, while maintaining an authentic community) was cutthroat on obtaining water rights from developments.  

I'm pretty new to all of this (just closed on my second rental last month), so take it for what its worth.Here are my first thoughts...If I had 700k, I'd buy as many high cash flow properties as I could (probably 15-20 or so SFR) with 500k (down payments, plus closing and repairs) and keep 200k for reserves.If you buy smart, 15-20 properties could get you cash flow anywhere from $4,500-$8,000 a month right off the bat, no need to work at your other job for 10 more years unless you really want to.It is possible for you to go into "semi-retirement" right now if you use your $700k wisely.
