Set a goal for yourself, likely a cashflow number to cover your current expenses, and then figure out how much real estate you need to own to generate that cashflow.

One is hawking multi-families, one is single family homes, another has a system for wholesaling and "paper-flipping" homes, one has a lead generator, the other guy deals only with disabled-person housing. 

Generated $3k in income by asking for back taxes plus additional $3k back in credit off the sale price.

We aired it out, washed the floors and walls, used an ozone generator, deep cleaned everything, aired it out, painted, aired it out again and essential oils at the end sealed the deal.

You need a lot more capital for investments if you are going to generate enough cash flow to live on passively.

I work full-time but also own a couple small businesses generating some additional cash flow on the side.

If you are looking to buy in a year from now, you can do a lot between now and then to generate cash. 

If it's a sale or long term hold you want to determine the revenues you can generate and back into the project that way.

I'll keep that in mind, if I find my searches aren't generating what I'm looking for.Thanks for the encouragement and best of luck!
