Once I did, I compiled a spreadsheet with the following metrics, over both a short term (2012-2017) and long term (2005-2017) for every MSA with a population above 100,000:Population GrowthMedian Household Income GrowthJob GrowthNew Unit ConstructionSupply (as measured by persons per unit)Median Rent GrowthI also found each MSA's volatility as measured by its standard deviation of growth, and including other pertinent metrics, like industry diversity and education attainment numbers.You message me your email, so I'm going to send you the spreadsheet later today.

My 5-year attainable goal is to have 5 single-family rental properties plus 1 short-term vacation rental and to be in a director role.

He is doing exactly what I want to be doing in the future, he lives in San Diego and invests in the mid west from afar where the purchase prices are lower and the 2% rule is readily attainable.

The payment comes out to be $3,076/mo ($36,912/yr)As you can see, cash flow with just this broad information is going to be -$4,430Now, we do know that the rents are below market value (we believe $1,600 is very attainable for each unit).

Is this situation attainable or would it be better to have a separate lending source to carry deposit note if possible?
