I'd recommend looking at costs. your build cost is going to be well over other homes because of the fixed costs like slab, Hvac, roof, etc. check the market drivers and weight the benefits of short term versus long term. long term is no furniture and help pays mortgage but at this size it doesn't really cover everything. we didn't find a lot of economies of scale in single family detached. can you build more than one unit?

This status is useful if you have long term rentals.

I would have asked you what your long-term goal is but you have already thought about it.

Real estate has long been the foundation of lasting wealth, proven by historical and modern moguls alike.

What really matters is how long you think you will have this loan. 

While cash flow is always a plus, I prioritize long-term appreciation as a key factor in building lasting wealth.I’ve noticed that many investors focus solely on cash flow without considering long-term wealth creation.

AND, your son will be at the mercy of the SELLER and dependent on the SELLER's good choices for the life of the loan.

It is fine as long as you disclose in the listings that there will be other guests on the property.  

He got me good.

Anywhere in between, I think it's deflationary because consumer won't continue to eat it & supply side is still long enough to not warrant new supply at tariff related prices.We really need to see how long this lasts.
