You will need to scale up versus doing houses to hit your numbers.   

Getting non paying tenants out of your house in RI can be a lengthy process so you have to choose wisely. 

I have a 5 bedroom 2 bathroom house.

My vision for CountOnCam LLC is to be a company that would like to provide a shared housing experience for women and children, immigrants, and low income families.

Consider exploring strategies like house-hacking or BRRRR, and connect with a mentor or local meetups.

this is a direct relation to lack of inventory.. new construction on many markets is as robust as its ever been.. we have had spectacular years the last 3 years of course during covid was tough with supply chains but my 500k house I am now selling for 700k and my build cost have gone up by maybe 100k.. so record profits for us.. 

if you want to buy a vacation house for your family, and you can afford it, and you'll occasionally rent it out - that's great, it's just not an investment. 

This is basically a math problem that will depend on both you personal finances & also how much of this is an investment vs you want a nice house to live in4.

My family made theirs in real estate (house hacking a private money funded 4 family when I was little) so two different philosophies.

Appreciate any advice at all.Things to note: I have a well qualified plumber tenant for the bigger under house garage already.
