Since my tenant will be responsible for their own internet service, I can't rely on a WiFi-enabled one, like August.

I love that BP enables us to connect with like minded folks! 

I would like to supplement my income by learning and investing in real estate and excelerate my retirement date.

@Priscilla Z. can chime in, if she’d like, as that area is her specialty.My initial thought in buying in Brevard from a distance, was that the area is close to the N-S highway, as well as the E-W “beach-line express” connecting to Orlando and Tampa, both highways enable easy transport.  

@Eugene Lubman Selling the property to your parents allows them to generate passive income while enabling you to perform a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains taxes.

Buildium would help with the expense tracking but also enable PM tasks such as lease renewals, maintenance requests, rent collection, etc.

You need to define what you want and then look for locations that enable you to achieve your goal.

But here is a bit of what I want:- Real estate income to supplement what I love doing (Sound, music, etc) to give me more freedom to travel and pursue projects I want to do.- I want to build my own studio, and a duplex, on a gorgeous lot here in the mountains of Montana.

So you may need to supplement more outside money to the purchase.You can always choose to add cash so you end up owning your replacement property with no debt.

Looking to supplement income for retirement years.
