Save every penny you make, live with room mates, drive a beat up truck, house hack distressed properties and spend all of your spare time DIY rehabbing them.

The issue with RUBS is that it is fluid and it hinges on the # of occupants and this poses issues: 1) A child uses less than an adult; 2) a worker from home uses more than one that drives to work; 3) A couple may have a child during tenancy which they fail to divulge; 4) friends and family may visit for a few days during holidays.... etc. etc. etc.  --- and... these issues become issues for the other Tenant and then turns you into the constant 'utility police' because you constantly have to monitor # of occupants... eww. 50/50 is simple and simply understood and 100% while vacant is also simply understood.

I think the New England coast will continue to outpace many other metro areas in for job & population growth in the next 10+ years.

The market overall is really good, nice job and population growth, and pro business.Good LuckGino

Location is critical, so look for areas with job growth and strong rental demand.

a market you know well, or vacation in, or have family in, or went to college in, or hope to move to someday.and above all... i'd try, if you can, to pick one you can drive to, within a few hours.  

In a "B" neighborhood, you might expect a slightly higher return, around 7-10%, since there's more room for growth but also slightly more risk.

I totally agree, so many properties there are new and beautiful that there needs to be *something* to really stand outYou make a really good point re: no plan B, and in general I’ve seen the home values in that market depreciating (assuming because of the boom / growth in supply in the last couple years).I might be wrong here but I assumed that a general trade off between vacation market and metro areas would generally be that strs in vacation markets don’t really have a plan BI’m pretty split at the moment, but really appreciate your thoughts

Driving them deeper into debt with claims of big money is a sad way to make a living.
