I help and show people how to use some of their savings to create streams of income by investing in apartment buildings.

No credit and some cash works but it is similar to swimming up stream.

Having an income stream forever cannot be beat.

@Jesse Smith If you're looking to invest in South City there are a lot of opportunities for SFH and multis, but the bread and butter investment I see and suggest to most of my clients are 4-family buildings since they're so prevalent throughout the city and offer a more resilient income stream compared to SFH.

So you want to throw away an income stream from a 8+ year tenant.

Steady stream of renters and some decent rent to price ratios.

I am currently a Medicaid Analyst with the State of Louisiana - DHH and I am looking for investment properties and opportunities that will be an extra revenue stream for me in retirement.

Lot is non build-able currently has seasonal stream running thought and city sewer is not quite there yet. 

I do think an additional revenue stream would be nice and you gotta try sometime, so...What would you do?
