For those who invest strictly in single family homes, how many do you own?  And how many of those are free and clear?

Mississippi investor here. It is rather difficult to answer this question because I paid cash for most of my properties, but I house I bought for about 30K now rents for $900, your not likely to find those deals right now. 

With a gross rent of 900/mo what's your average net?  Thanks

Average NOI per door (before mortgage) is currently $710+/mo. across roughly 40 units.

Nice, so 28K net profit per month.  How much is the monthly loan payment if you don't mind?
Approx. $12k/mo. Total principal and interest payments, of which principal accumulation is about $3.5K/mo. Which I consider to be extra “forced” savings on top of the rental free cash flow of $16k/mo.

 Not bad! Sounds like you got a really great deal.

I got a 4bed/2bath a few months ago in CA for 215K.  Rehabbed it for 25K and now it rents for 2450/mo. I paid all cash.  I am sure there are better deals out there but for me all the positive cash flow is nice.

Thanks for the input.  Yea I figure Ill just keep plugging away.  

Im 46, and a RN. I have a govt pension coming at age 50 but other than that I don't buy stocks, bonds, crypto etc.  I just stick to real estate.  My total mortgages total $1604 a month and have about 14 years left.  I should have been more aggressive getting loans back in the 2010s but oh well.  So I basically just buy them cash now in the mid 200 range.  Lets hope for a market crash so we can all get a bunch more :)

My plan was just to keep buying as many as I can and just live off the rents.  IDK, maybe there is a better plan? I'm up to 16 total now and get about one a year.  I started buying in 2008.

 Your strategy isn't bad, it's what a lot of people here are seeking. And in fact, you're doing better than almost all of them. The question really isn't how is it subsidizing your life versus how much it could cost you. I would include loans, simply cause those aren't going to be paid by anyone but you. I get it, that your tenant is off-setting, but when push comes to shove you're on the hook. If you die, whose responsible? Other downsides, are you looking at those? I think the passivity nature of the income is great, granted how limited that may be in it's nature, it's really can you still cook if the kitchen is on fire. I think risk management is arguably even more important for you at this stage. I would not change the accumulation phase-- you're doing amazing.

How old are you?
What's your income outside of this?
What else do you have saved?
What are your other investments?
How much debt do you have?
How many do you support, and how many more do you intend to support?
What kind of lifestyle do you want to live?

Congrats! Will you be investing in CA or out of state? 

I'll stick with CA for now as things seem to be going smoothly so far.  But I'm looking out of state on occasion.  Thanks

I see your points.  Thanks for the reply. Let me specify.  Per door in my case would be single family, stand alone, houses in CA.  Just asking this question because my average rents are 1900 and excluding any loans my net income on average (including vacancy, rehab and all the other obvious costs) is about 1300/mo per house.

When did you buy these? If you're making net $1300/house, after all that subtracted, you're doing fantastic. You need to make sure you're set up for when/if things go backwards.
