@Carrie Maultsby-Lute Online lead generation, hands down.

I'm a full time Network Engineer, who also owns my own IT consulting service but I was drawn here while researching generating passive income.  

Treat any time spent on building leads, crafting marketing pieces or executing a direct mail or phone calls, as complete gold and NO ONE can distract you from those income-generating activities (IGAs).4.  

You missed the fact that the $52,500 in equity is saving/generating 4% of the returns.

Had you handled this differently, and been able to answer the questions I asked without all the BS, maybe I would have referred you some of the 100+ leads in my pipeline looking for Facebook advertising (that, I generate through PPC).

Hi Rob, wonderful post, looking forward to reading everyone else's responses as well.I will likely make a fair amount of assumptions in the following discussion, but none-the-less, I would do the following:1) Sell your property in VA.Based on your discussion, my advice would be to sell your home in VA as it is not generating any "real" money for you.

@Peter Bardou I have only used Venmo a couple times, does it generate weekly, monthly or yearly payment reports? 

Not a terrible idea to generate cash flow, but there is definitely some trade off. 

I guess I'm just confused as to why some people would have multiple rentals if they are not generating income.

But can I still refinance and pull out the equity and then sell in 5 years to follow Brandon's system of selling at least 2 deals every 5 years to generate close to $100k per year?
