These are the main financials for any investors. 

Forgetting FIRE, what asset would you guys go after if cash flow is your main objective here.

All were bought in 2023 or 2024:- Virginia: $50,000 - 1.5 acres- Vermont: $33,000 - 3.3 acres- Tennessee: $34,000 - 1.4 acres- Maine: $27,000 - 1.1 acresTotal: $144,000 - 7.3 acresWe bought all for cash with the intention to build on each in due time, depending on where we can first have all ducks in a row: general contractor, permits, etc.

For me, the benefits are mainly about the investment returns.

I’m looking to buy and hold with mainly appreciation in mind.

Hey @Mike Allen, I use the Schlage Encode Smart Wifi Deadbolts at my STR - one for the front porch door into the property (it's a duplex), a second for the main entry door into the upstairs unit itself, and then one on the supply closet in the unit for our cleaning team.I don't have any third party management software in place at the moment, and therefore can't speak to the integrations at this point in time.  

Still not bad in terms of turnover, mainly due to the quality of my units and the affordability of a duplex over a SFH in the Austin area.  

Never, Never use your sellers property tax expenses to estimate your future property tax, this is a big mistake done my many people in the industry.If you haven’t sell your Main home where you are living yet you might consider to keep it, because your new home would be triple the amount your are paying right now.

My main goal is to house hack and make my monthly expenses as low as possible.

I think the $10m goal is distracting from my main curiosity on whether there were specific ways in, in my situation.
