And we have a steady stream of mountain bikers/hikers during the summer months.There is also a country club open to the public for golf, tennis and other activities.

I use prop streams comping tool, still requires you to know your area and to know the market.

The Capital One Savor card is 4% back on food and entertainment and 3% back on streaming services. 

I have just seen too many partnerships end in blood so to speak.

I am considering waiting a bit longer until I get an anticipated 44% raise and re-applying for Sofi and Light stream (among all others I can find), at which point my DTI should be low enough. 

I currently work full time as a government contractor but I am looking to build a real estate portfolio so I can shift away from W2 earnings and begin to grow passive income streams that I can expand on over the next 10-15 years.The townhouse I live in now is the extent of my real estate purchasing experience so far but I have been trying to absorb as much information as possible thought the podcasts on BP as well as reading several of the recommended books that are constantly thrown around on here to expand my education on investing.My short term goal is to purchase my first property by the end of this year and have 4-8 SFHs or THs in the next 3 years. 

Deploying it to real estate just changes the revenue stream from investments to rent collection instead of giving you a raise

It's very difficult to force seller financing onto a situation where it's not the right property/seller, but there are a lot of benefits to it for the right situation (lower downpayment for you, lower capital gains tax and steady income stream for the seller without being a landlord, etc.)Happy investing!

Great to have an income stream that combats inflation!

If you don't delead within 90 days, you're on the hook if the kids have elevated blood lead levels.
