My adult children have 9 properties now ~ they advise me to buy a few rentals to provide eventual income supplementation after I retire. ( Who wants to be the retiree wiping tables at McDonald's ?

Do you have to supplement with other apps ?

I have a small long-term single family rental and thinking about converting toward medium term.Most nearby major employer is probably Novant Health hospital system that I believe is expanding a campus in the local vicinity.

Quote from @Michael Wells: Hey everyone,My name’s Michael, and I’m an independent health insurance agent currently pivoting into real estate investing full-time.

People buying need to keep in mind the target audience a lot of young nurses in health care are not going to want to stay in the highest crime rate area of the city so pick carefully for the group you are targeting.

I've been diving head first into all of the Bigger Pockets resources and finding other resources to supplement my learning -- it all feels like so much.

For less active income (some would refer to as "passive income"), without a job, you're going to need to get a dscr loan but you'll also need to have a balance sheet to take the property down meaning you're probably going to need to partner.I would also try to see if you can improve your health issues before you start this new venture.

Ideally, it should supplement your current income, offer potential tax benefits, and align with your overall financial goals.Good luck, and happy to connect.

This will give us the first glimpse into labor market health since the beginning of the shutdown.
