Hey Larry - Aiming for a minimum of $250 cashflow per door is a common benchmark.

I could house hack it though to help supplement some of those costs, maybe get into a home that needs some fixing up and then when rates come down and I get that forced appreciation I could refi and pull out some money if I’ve gained some equity?

We are aiming to fix and flip properties in the $250-350k ARV range. 

It really comes down to what you're aiming for.

We typically aim for 15-25% annualized returns for instance, as a mix of cash flow and appreciation.

So, I supplement it by searching the applicant out on my state's court website which is free.

This was to ensure that I was able to supplement my income and allow for a smooth transition. 

They're aiming to make things more transparent and fair, but as you can imagine, there's a mix of challenges and opportunities coming our way.One of the big talks is about the potential shift away from MLS listings.

So, by your logic this landlord should be aiming at an approach that can lead to excess vacancy/turnover which is costly.

I am aiming for a policy where my cash value surpasses premiums paid as fast as possible without triggering a MEC.
