I’m in my late 20s and not in a rush to retire, but my goal is to achieve financial independence in the next 10 years through real estate.I’m considering two options:Option 1: House Hacking with a Multifamily PropertyI probably have to use all my cash for the down payment, and the rent income won't cover the mortgage.

(TL;DR version: wholesaler from NYC got a property in Mississippi under contract, then ended up helping a scammer with a fake title company steal $10k earnest money from a buyer (according to what was written in the thread of course, I have no firsthand knowledge of what occurred).

If you achieve the ideal BRRRR with zero costs, you might as well perform it in a high PSF location (as high as you can tackle with conservative reserves).My last rehab was on a property that was almost $2k psf.  

Proper structuring with professional guidance is key to achieving both parties' goals.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

If your market has a significant number of FHA or VA loans with zero to low down payments where a buyer can't afford to pay their agent out of pocket, your sellers may end up cutting off a significant portion of the home buying market, or once they do come around to considering negotiating on BAC, they may feel deceived, and now you may lose the potential for the recurring client that will ultimately otherwise drive your seller lead acquisition cost down.For planning: In a great business, a good rule of thumb is to estimate:100% Gross Income35% Cost of Sale30% Expenses35% Profit <-- very few businesses achieve this, but we're looking at an ideal solutionAssuming a national price average of $300k and 0.6% GCI, you'd be looking at:$1,800 Gross Income$630 Cost of Sale <-- agents/ transaction coordinators$540 Expenses <-- photos/ signs/ lockboxes/ Errors & Omissions insurance/ MLS fees/ liability insurance/ tech fees/ VA admin support/ marketing to get clients for the business (this piece should be roughly 10% of revenue, which would be $54 in this case)$630k ProfitIf your business sold 1,000 of these homes a year, you would have:$1,800,000 Gross Income$630k Cost of Sale <-- agents/ transaction coordinators (you could have 5 agents handling 200 sales each at $100k incomes and TC support at scale)$540k Expenses <-- photos/ signs/ lockboxes/ Errors & Omissions insurance/ MLS fees/ liability insurance/ tech fees/ VA admin support/ marketing to get clients for the business (you're going to est $125k in runner fees alone for signs; $25k+ in signs, $54k in ads to attract clients, $200k in photos, $10-20k minimum in E&O, $2k in liability, and what tech/ VA support)$630k Profit Scale costs will include hiring a managing broker for compliance to help oversee all of these transactions and implement legal changes and training.

After 3 years of ownership, I typically see my buyers achieve 9-10% cash on cash return with an annual appreciation rate of 9-11% a year in those areas. 

Real estate can be a powerful way to achieve both tax benefits and cash flow, and there are many strategies to fit your goals.

Someone tackling that type of development effort can achieve returns without ADU laws.  

Understanding this is a very Tennent friendly state, does anyone have first hand good and or bad experiences in the area renting properties?
