The end goal is to have a piece of land with multiple houses: one for my growing family but also a home for my mother in law.My mother in law has agreed to foot the money on a new property/land up front and when ready we can buy land from her to build/develop etc. 

In other words, I'd hope to pay market price to rent the place out so the home buyers can get an optimal but realistic return on their investment.So my goal to make this appealing to me, as a potential renter, is to also be one of the buyers.

As a part of the partnership with the state of Virginia, which included $750 million of Virginia taxpayer money for infrastructure improvements to support the Amazon HQ2, Virginia is offering Amazon $550 million in grants for hitting that hiring goals, and an additional $200 million for hiring 12,850 more employees from 2030-2034.

Seems to be defined by the learner goal and the market.

What’s your ultimate goal?

for example, buy a 2-unit, rent out 1 unit, and then rent all the bedrooms in the other unit to friends and sleep in the basement or on a couch.let's recapnot easy: house hacking in NYCeasy: buying sub 30K houses that will turn into money pits and won't advance your goals at all

But then I remember I am an expert in my market and know which areas are better suited to my target goals.

@Casey Graham 1) Your #1 goal with tenants is consistently, smooth cashflow.

The goal is to rehab this house then rent it to a qualified tenant until my fathers passing, at that time he has it in the will that the property is to be sold and then the profits are to be divided up between the family. 

It really depends on your goals—do you want steady cash flow now, or are you okay waiting for growth over time?
