Im at base pay since I Just started, top pay at this job is at 5 years and we make 100k base pay, there are guys easily clearing 160k due to OT and other extra money functions. we also have a lot of opportunity to move up in position, Supervisors clear 230k like nothing so right now I'm not making much but long term this is one of the best city jobs to work.

If the plumber has to work 2 extra hours because of foolish clogs, oh well. 

I will also note that the RC zoning district allows for quite a few extra units so you would get the best use out of your land by building a quadplex or something like that.if you are interested in going forward though I work part time at NOLA builds in town and they do great work for construction at all levels.feel free to reach out if you have more questions

So as investing partners it makes sense because we will both have extra cash at the same time, we partner up to cut the risk in half + we both specialize in a couple things the other does not in terms of being a rental property owner (e.g. running the books + marketing vs actually fixing things).  

So if you want to handle the extra work, like cleaning, repairs and all of the calls and texts, then go for it.

Section 8 can definitely cause extra headaches like the longer wait times to get a tenant in there, the inspections, and the incompetent CMHA office you can never get a hold of.  

Promissory notes in general, as they have no collateral, seem a bit higher risk, perhaps mortgage note investing which are backed by residential and sometimes even commercial real estate would be a safer alternative, and yet very lucrative, too,  8-12% yieldsFor extra returns, I put a small portion of my portfolio into BDCs, Business development companies, that specialize in loaning money to growing businesses which are too high risk to get loans from proper banks.

It's easy to obtain, costs very little, and doesn't require extra, on-going effort to maintain.

Fix it up and rehab or flip and then you can pay yourself back and have a little bit extra to push to the next one
