My goal is to own a few properties over the next 10 years or so and get a stream of passive income while gain equity on the properties.

I wanted to invest in another stream of revenue different from the assets I previously owned.

This is like blood on the water for investors. 

We transitioned it into a rental, providing a steady income stream while we used our VA loan to purchase a different property before moving out. 6.

The previous tenant apparently ran a "dog fighting ring" in the garage and there was blood and hair and excrement everywhere in the garage.

As I said in a couple of threads, I put my price up high during leaf season and I'm getting a steady stream only from booking.com almost nothing for Airbnb except discount Seekers.

Once you have a steady stream of cash, then look to diversify and create long term equity.

I use conventional financing so I have to make it look like i have a healthy stream of income coming in.

@Stephen Thomas there are things you can do but it largely depends on your current structure of income streams and exactly how much those income streams are brining in.

I was planning on putting the cash to work in syndication deals to build a passive income stream....but now I am in wait and see mode as the stock market could still have a significant pullback and offer a nice entry point.
