The problem is, none of it is based on actual comps, and again, the word "cute" doesn't have anything to do with setting those numners.What you need to do is a full analysis of the comps for both rent and sold in your area. 

Is it over-blown or game changing?

If there's a lot more headache- then I encourage you to implement or improve a Complete Household System, try to get SFR's with 6-11 bedrooms, no more than 3 rooms per 3/4-Full bathroom, and make sure there's one (not more than one) beautiful living room with a big screen TV. 

I have been less active on the investor homefront dealing with an unexpected curveball I got thrown in life.Still have big goals for Q1 2025: -Get Pre Qual'd for VA construction loan(may be until later in the quarter as I also have to refi out of my current VA loan to regain full entitlement.

Also look at those Vrbo and Airbnb calendars and see how full they are and what nightly rates they are getting.Should be easy from here to see if a new property would pencil in or not. 

I don't know how much you have but a build to rent triplex all in our market is 150k liquid normally with full return of capital in 9 months.

Not a full fledged house hack, but enough to take the sting out of the rate we got.Not all of Citrus Heights is the same, but the area near Fair Oaks/Orangevale/Carmichael has a good balance of price and quality.

When entering the apartment, it just feels like a house full of squatters. 

Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Recently purchased my first house to use as a primary residence, currently I am renovating the kitchen and adding a full bathroom to the first floor.
