Deciding what I want to achieve: I want to learn a great deal more about real estate investing and continue to acquire rental property that will generate passive income, gaining financial independence, which will give me more freedom with my choice of day job in the future.  

Started generating Cashflow.

I prefer properties that generate 10-12%.  

Otherwise it would only generate about $1200/mth for me, but for a lot of work and hassle (county meetings, deadbeat tenants that I can't even evict because they own the mobiles).

Now rather than losing money by having the equity sitting in the property you have converted it into a revenue generating function AND you are utilizing debt to to generate revenue as well, without decreasing your cash position.  

Thomas with TG Resources, Beating the streets, Generating leads, I investigated and found details on a home I have been doing research on for quite some time on.

We have many multi-generational families in our SEC 8 program.  

I would like to roll a couple of 401Ks that I currently have from previous employers into a self directed IRA and use those funds to buy and rent out a property to generate some cash flow.

Just your post @Claire Trammell Helped me generate some fresh thoughts and 'content' and on a roll.

I'm interested in long term holds to generate passive income for both my children and my retirement (in my 30s currently).
