Or better yet, what is the '2% Rule and the '50% Rule'?

I'd use the 50% rule for this.

I really am not desiring to manage my properties myself, it's not in my long term game plan.The town is small and with city codes I don't know that they would accept a box as an address as well, and I tend to try to play by the rules and codes rather than break or bend them, but that is just me. 

So if the OP's goal is 10K/month, and we use the 50% rule, and go for properties that rent for 1200/month, that's 17 properties. - Set about acquiring properties as fast as is prudently possible, with the best financing rates you can get, that cash flow with the financing in place.

But lots of companies do use the higher-rent-for-shorter-term strategy.I'd add a fourth option - terminate the lease at the end of July.

Are you familiar with the 50% rule?

You'd want it to be 1k/unit to hit the 2% rule, but I'm guessing it's much closer to half that.

Many people on here talk about the 2% rule.
