A spill in the lobby?

The cash flow and appreciation down the road (if bought right) is significant, and any other investment type will charge you taxes too, so might as well take the option with the most income streams (rental properties).

And since you'll have 20 income streams you can replenish it faster than with a single property.  

Have the tenants pay the mortgage and create a stream of income for retirement? 

I hope it piques their curiosity to pursue RE investing and diversify their income streams to weather the storm of any future recession/job loss in the future. 

You also have a stream of income coming in to support you as you grow your portfolio (huge bonus!). 

Really liked the idea of short term rental and having multiple revenue streams off of one property.

However, I am asking the owners of bigger pockets to be transparent about their revenue streams in their own personal real estate journeys.

This can be a great option for sellers looking for a fixed income stream (e.g. retirees, self-employed, etc).Good luck!

So waiting until I have a reliable stream of income as a 1099 will take however long it takes (since the market is going to really have the most influence on this and not my work ethic).
