Hi, I really want to buy a house for long term rentals to supplement our income for retirement.

So this isn't purely a numbers play for me, there's a lifestyle component to it as well.The bigger picture goal is to use STR income to first supplement my full time job, and eventually replace it altogether.

Data + Systems        When you combine list stacking, CRM follow-up, and consistent touchpoints, off-market becomes a process — not luck.Facebook works best as a supplement, not a system.The most consistent investors I see treat off-market like a pipeline business — multiple channels, disciplined follow-up, and relationship-first positioning.Curious — are you focusing more on single-family, small multifamily, or something else?

I used to own my own remodeling company so I can do a lot of the work myself, but I also have a full-time job so I realize my effort will need to be supplemented with other contractors.

You will need to independently develop a Pet/Assistance Animal Policy, and House Rules (supplemental to any Rental Agreement for multi-unit property).As to sourcing a Rental Agreement, check with a local Realtor to see if the local Board has one available.

I'm looking to supplement my income with one property at a time, however Redfin and Zillow only give a few houses that could even remotely bring a profit on a renovation.

We’re open, reliable, and genuinely interested in learning while providing consistent support where it’s needed.We may be a good fit for co-hosting or supplemental support, particularly on the Airbnb side, while you continue to evaluate longer-term management options.

If you mean with at high OO LTV such as 95% LTV, purchasing LTR off the mls using market financing and without a value add add expecting your rent to be supplemented by the other tenants in the near term then it is not feasible.  

It's a supplement to it.

I supplement those with STR bookings to fill in the gaps.
