I’m thinking about adding a townhouse in Raleigh, NC.I already have a Corp for my video production agency, which is my full-time job.Thanks for any guidance or recommendations!

I own one rental property in my home city that is currently producing a small cash flow.

Anyways, my goal is to build a passive income stream to reach financial independence so that I can either start a nonprofit or small business where I help landowners who have historically struggled to access markets to sell their timber for either forest products like lumber, or carbon credits to help offset larger companies carbon emissions.

Furthermore, the income produced by airbnbs can be considered business income and not rental income. 

I couldnt count "future income" so they think I was losing about $2000 monthly when in fact I would be making at least an extra $2500 with the new place.My buyers broker suggested a mortgagor that has many loan products including a 20% down nonconforming mortgage.

However there are FHA products that allow some limited rehabilitation funds.

Bad deals waste time, waste money and not only don't produce profits but can lead to bankruptcy.

As you are vetting contractors, I'd recommending trying to understand what product they will be using. 

Well when that happens obviously there isn’t as much production and it goes down the line.

All my extra cash goes into the company stocks and I don't save any substantial cash.I'm not really sure on how to calculate the ROI of this type of investing, but the re-invested dividends produce about $300 per month (currently) and the amount increases about $10 per month on average.
