My goal is within 5-10 years to be making a monthly profit that matches our household income (currently 6.5k USD monthly but will likely increase overtime).

@Leslie Beia what do YOU think $30k income would come fromHow many doors?

Quote from @Kevin Akers: Quote from @Brittany Minocchi: Can you qualify full doc (meaning with employment history, income, DTI, tax returns)?

The Tenant Class greatly impacts rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.Both Property Classand Tenant Class affect what type of contractors, handymen and property management companies will work on a property.If you buy & renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what Tenant Class will rent it?

I'm thinking of ways to invest some money to bring me a residual income so I have watched Bob Diamond blueprint on overages.Has anyone tried hus program or currently using the program today.

Market fundamentals to consider: population growth, average income, median home price and average rent, crime rate.

Love that you’re thinking ahead—getting your income lined up now will make buying way easier.Lenders want stable, verifiable income, so a W-2 job in Arizona is your best bet.

I was thinking so too, the income still vastly exceeds the expenses anyway. 

Given your situation, a property closer to Nashville might be more advantageous for short-term rentals like Airbnb, as proximity to a popular city typically attracts more guests and higher rental income.

This is a very popular incentive in the city of columbus where tax abatements can lower taxes by 3k a year. on income of 60k for a traditional triplex that we build that would be lowering operating expenses by 10% if you assume approx 40%. it makes a big difference but I was wondering if anyone has actually seen the benenfits over time from holding these properties or investing in similar areas in urban core adjacent through renovations or new construction. there are benefits to selling them obviously but please comment if this applies to you!!
