Account ClosedThe question sounds like the chicken or egg debate.  

I may change my mind down the road, but for now my goal is to have enough supplemental income to cover a mortgage payment so I can essentially be living for "free" (having a tenant cover my mortgage payment).I've been renting for several years and am now ready to use my nest egg on a downpayment to buy a home.

Part of the reason for the ones I'm involved in is the fact that there are vouchers approved for guaranteed tenancy and another is when some of the multi-use properties have additional income streams (cell towers, laundry, etc.)

To my knowledge, the idiots that were selling meth downsized from a 1000 SF house to an 80 SF cell:)

You may not learn exactly what you need to be an investor, but you should never put all of your eggs in one basket. 

My goal is to diversify by initially doing RE part-time and use some of the proceeds to help provide capital to acquire a commercial building for it and ideally transition out of my current business into RE full-time.I have a couple of audio courses (LeGrand, Harbolt) that I have listened to, have been attending the local REIA chapter meetings for almost two years and have gone to some of the single day seminars (LeGrand and Harbolt).Obviously, continual education for any discipline is important...I have watched several seminars on here but I seem to be stuck in a chicken or the egg situation in terms of moving forward and am hoping to get some advice here on what next steps to take.Why I feel "stuck":I have started to look for a wholesale or terms type of deal but what I keep running up against is that I don't feel like I have adequate training to actually get it off the ground.
