However if one has systems in place to efficiently and cost effectively handle preventative maintenance and tenant retention as well as has an alternate revenue stream, such as employment or dividends then this can mitigate much of the risk in a leveraged path.

It is very smart to have several streams of income - do both until you are financially independent. 

Back when my wife and I were living in CT I started reading up on real estate and rental properties as most people looking to start another stream of income do.

You are able to have a non-occupying co-borrower for a multi-unit financed with a FHA loan if the co-borrower is a blood relative or relative by law at the max LTV.

Many of these people don't own real estate and therefore cannot readily benefit from the additional income stream Air BNB creates. 

I bought a 2400 square foot log cabin with 250 feet of frontage on Cosby Creek - a blue ribbon trout stream - for $240K in 2005. 

I use prop stream to find motivated sellers, and possibly getting there house under contract... does anyone have a really good lists that I could target.?

It reminds me of people who build up an income stream on social media, get banned, and then lose that income overnight.

I know that having multiple streams of income can be the key to building great wealth, thats why along with a steady job starting off I would like to buy and hold houses for rent and then maybe getting into flipping after I get my feet wet.I am apart of the local REI club.

To create an additional income stream, I have decided to privately lend (gap funds under $50k for my first) amongst other members of the REI flip method coaching program to which I belong.
