I do have stream of income, but student loans and other bills are really making it harder for me to save to invest in RE.

What I know about my business is that investing in good training has improved my business in profitability and ease of operation...What I've done recently to try and get started:I found a couple of local FSBOs and dug up some call scripts but it seems like what I really need is to setup a stream to have multiple deals in front of me given how many you need before you get one to "work"?

My goal for the future would be to develop passive streams of income that would allow me to work when I want and how I want.  

I'm 29 and I'm saving every extra dime to invest in future assets so that I can one day develop a passive income stream which will help me as an artist to maintain the lifestyle I want to continue pursuing.

I help other people how to use their savings to create streams of income so they can start building a better retirement portfolio.

If I were you I would work on building income streams over the next 3 years so that you're off to a good start.
