How many homes is your goal?

Byron Paille
Posted

I am in my late 40s. I have always dabbled in real-estate and done well. I am approaching it in a much more specific way now. Should be closing on my 6th rental next month. 

What is the goal number of homes for most of you? I do not have a set number yet. I read most investors only have 12 on average.

Are you looking at a monthly dollar amount more so than house or unit amount?

Good evening Byron, your question is an  interesting one. Personally, It’s the total positive cash flow that matters most. Bigger #’s doesn’t equal better cash flow. My retirement goal is to have 10 nice B grade homes in good neighborhoods with great schools paid for free and clear. That along with my primary residence being free and clear will provide a great retirement and allow my wife and I to pursue our “ Bucket List “ and enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. It will also provide us a chance to share our blessings with our Church, Community and favorite Charities.  :-)
