Plus real estates is also becoming more main stream and popular so more people are putting money in it.

And same market.Two propertiesPROS- Two streams of income- More experience- Higher overall cash flow?

I’ve switched to dividend investing now for cashflow as its new to learn and I’d rather have different streams of income now vs all real estate.

The property has a hot spring on it and can be used for other creative and educational events to generate more revenue streams as well.

I have seen brokers in here say so many agents wash out with low income, and don't even make any income in their first year--so balance that out.But I'm not a broker and maybe some brokers could elucidate this better.Maybe that is only in some markets I don't know.But stands to reason that some people might avoid you because you drive an old beat up truck vs a more mainstream vehicle.Will these be potential customers I don't know.I am not actually weighing in on this because I am not a broker, and I am far from an average home buyer (who would probably be your customer).I'm just applying what seems like common sense, and be sure to consider the REALITIES of the income stream for starter Realtors.Maybe you could rent a vehicle for crucial times when you want to make that Great Impression.Who would YOU choose to list your home for sale (see pic below):

  - You could also look into sites like Experian Boost that would report things you may currently pay (phone bill, utilities, streaming services) and that could also help there.With your situation, even though you may have perfect payment history it is difficult to start because you don't have a large mix of accounts (credit cards, auto loans, mortgages, etc.) and the average length of accounts is small. 

It’s not the $4-5 million that let me retire, it’s the cash flow. 3) oh yeah, that income stream can be left tax free to anyone I choose when I die and they never have to sell anything. 4) I swear the government seems to hate that people can make it on their own through real estate without depending on them.

We've worked with investors who have found success in Lynbrook, Valley Stream, Babylon, Elmont, Patchogue, Massapequa and a number of other submarkets known for higher multi-family inventory.All the best to you on your first property!

In these cities, your financial resources will go a long way enabling you to assemble a diverse multifamily portfolio and initiate a steady stream of income.

Eventually you can create semi-passive income streams, but it's a lot of work, at least in the beginning, no matter what and it's never truly passive because there's always something you'll need to be doing and paying attention to even once you've got a solid portfolio under solid management.
