I am trying to figure out a solution to get the space up and running again to add an additional amenity for the tenants along with revenue stream for the property. 

I am a real estate investor who owns a few rental properties in the Greater Boston Area but I am looking to branch out into other streams of income as means to generate more revenue that can be put towards acquiring more rentals. 

Any advice on VAs or finding one or am I better off doing it myself on prop stream or batch leads?

So you do it anyways..WHILE SEO is ongoing you manually drive traffic to your site, with FB ads, PPC, DMM, D4D, what ever how ever.Now that your site is credible.. i..e. converts traffic into leads you WILL get a TON of leads streaming in without you having to sit there and analyze 100 properties without even KNOWING  if they are motivated to sell or not.How can you possibly think this is a good method.

Aside from the pads etc, are there other ways to make income streams?

A great mountain view, a location within walking distance to attractions, or perhaps a trout stream running next to the property where the kids can tube and fish. 

It is simple math, but the main negative is you will end up paying a lot more if you are not disciplined or you lose your income stream, as the whole product relies on the difference between income and expenditure. 

Chris I think what folks bought into is if you buy the lot and have the home built ( as long as build prices dont change mid stream) you were forcing equity thats why you would risk doing this .. but for sure your points are right on the ONLY risk is to the buyer loans in his/her name. 

If you are able to rent your townhouse for $2200 or more per month, it may be a good option to go that route as it could provide a steady stream of income and potentially help reduce your overall housing costs.

I have a scenario I’d like to run by you all to see if my thinking makes financial sense.My overall goal is to have several streams of income come retirement (still over 20 years to go).
