@Allan Smith - interesting maybe it’s a supply/demand thing.

So I am 100% certain the demand for daycare services is there, but for now I am trying to get my head around the cash flows and how they compare to standard rental property of the same size. 

And more importantly for those who used to work in corporate world, in a job where it has high demand and focus which offers good salary, how did you do it?

I can't sign a new cell phone plan and then demand unlimited data after the fact. 

My current goal is to look for properties for cash flow opportunities to help supplement retirement income in the near future (4-8 years from now).

The demand for rentals in Boise is tremendous, so even though home prices are rising, rents are able to stay with these home prices in order to maintain positive cash flow.Although it is harder to find a 10% cash on cash return in this hot market, investors are seeing that if they purchase today, they will see rent prices grow over the next 5 years, which in turn will make the investment cash flow in the long run.Feel free to reach out to me with any other questions about the Boise market.Thank you,

The demand for homes is crazy.By the way, in your comments you mentioned farm or 'farm areas'.

My overall goal is to ditch the full time job and get supplemental income for myself so that I don't have to work full time and commute anymore.

Demand is high out of the 22 units we will have one or sometimes two open.

My situation: I own a single family 3bdr home in very demanding market.
