So about 8 houses per year will do ya....but don't forget your costs of doing business AKA overhead....Very good point!

My significant other and I decided to use a builder she had done business with in the past.   

I'm a small business owner and my partner has a corporate job. 

You rent it for one year and create a successful STR business that shows a trailing 12 month net income of $75,000.  

I highly recommend working with him, but only if you're willing to put in the effort to build a business and though leadership brand!

Just my personal opinion - get a mentor or a person who already has good experience running STR business, preferably in your area (but not 100% required).

@Andreas Mathews admirable, but make sure you do some research so you understand what a PM can make.Starting your own PMC business will require 75-150 doors to make a decent living, depending on gross rents and your fee structre.Working for a SFR PMC as a PM, will require a RE license and you usually get paid a percentage of the gross rents the portfolio of owners/properties you manage generates.
