While the slow gains on mutual funds and 401k and IRA are nice, I'm looking for more cash flow.I've been doing research about real estate investing for a week or so now .

You will gain respect, contacts you would never have access to and a behind the curtain view that no paid guru will offer.  

I used to create Google calendar events for action items or a spreadsheet to track research, but I started getting buried by the sheer amount of the information.We use a task tracking software called JIRA at work so I decided to give it a try to track all the REI knowledge I was gaining.

This means you have 50k of capital gains built into your property. 

If not, the 1099s is income, and commission your selling expense that reduces your gain on sale, if any. 

Considering the fact that they have already caused serious damage to the property and will most likely continue to do so, the SAFE move would be to look for grounds for eviction based on your lease agreement.These situations are super taxing to deal with—it's so much nicer to just think of renting properties as a passive income source where everything just goes according to plan.

I am currently going through my options to buy my very first investment home - I was originally hoping to go the FHA route, multifamily home, "house hack" or live-in-flip - which would require me to go with the 203(k) option to force appreciate some equity, as well as, to gain some landlord experience and passive rental income. 

My goal is to start with fixing and flipping with an eye towards buy and hold in order to generate passive income. 

No CapEx) Monthly profit: $70.46 (so basically nothing)Cash on Cash ROI: 0.79% (ouch)Cap rate: 8%As you can see, the numbers are grim...My options as I see them are as follows:1) HELOC to gain access to this equity.

I'm from Ireland , haven't done any deals yet but have a goal to buy my first property this year which I will do as a house hack, where I hope to gain landlord experience , house maintenance  / running processes etc.
