@Davey DavanoskiYou don't really pay yourself.Flips are different, the profits go towards your income.Rental properties generate passive income, but if you're looking to retire from a day job it's not usually possible for the average person owning 1 or 2 properties.As an example let's say you have a target goal of $300 positive cash flow to consider an investment.

Hi Eli,I also have been contacted by sellers in a similar position.

You'll also need to attend continuing education classes to maintain your license.

There isn’t a single park owned home and no Lawncare or any roads to maintain for the park.

Even people that maintain offices tend to have a lot of people work from home and use offices just as needed.  

I should have at least a little positive cash flow to start.

It's fine to ask for advice, but you have to put yourself in a position where you are confident when you see a good deal.

I'm not in a position to execute currently but would like the option in the near future.

If that happens and your plan is slowed, you'll be in a safer position with the W-2 job.

Those are part-time jobs which are very volatile and she could see her hours cut or her position eliminated at any time.
