If I'm looking to househack with my family (I had a toddler and a newborn the last time we did it) I might be interested in 1/3 of these neighborhoods, of which a few will absolutely produce some income (assuming you're number's aren't ultra-conservative) upon moving in year 2-3.

I then look at area vacancies, economic conditions, employment opportunities, area demographics and verify that the property has not been red tagged or have any other underlying problems that might make it difficult to resell or rent.When I have my financial information then I can consider debt service and costs related to equity partners in the overall income produced.

Looks like a young group of professionals with not enough experience, navigating through various market cycles to produce an accurate  business case.  

Fed's "create" things by "making it rain" to create the actual producers to produce.

I do not have my numbers as well organized as @Greg Scott but my estimate is upper 20% annual return on average.The 3 i am currently invested in, one seems likely to produce an outstanding return (High risk, high reward), one is conservative and is performing to projections, and one i have significant concerns about but has not had a capital call.  

A non-performing note is unlikely to produce cash flow but profit can be harvested from enough protective equity.

Obviously I'm all in on this first house and I'm rooting like heck for Clayton's team to produce a winner for me, but as for my second, third, fourth...etc.?  

I am in the begining stages of producing a conce0t drawing for the rental property.

Hello Allen,Last year, we conducted a study with a few clients and produced a white paper.

Real estate investments (STRs, MTRs, live in flips) have produced my best returns by a good margin.
