@Kris L. your right that might be a good idea I looked into getting a real estate license, but it was just to expensive at the moment so I need any type of license to be a general contractor?

But I’ve found multiple deals in my neck of the woods (Michigan) that fit the required criteria of $300 cashflow per single family and $400 per duplex assuming a 7% vacancy, 5% repair l, 5% CAPEX, 10% PM.

Thanks @Taylor L.  

Thanks @Pat L. wouldn't that be sweet! 

Utilities - the low rents don't support a return to install multiple meters or even a reasonable RUBS which further erodes the P&L with rents that can least afford it.All that said - I would love to hear from someone having better success in Small MF in Huntsville or who sees it differently.

Thank you @Taylor L. appreciate the response!

@Cody L.

But I also agree with @Pat L. - I wanted to build the rental portfolio so I could spend time with my kids, family and friends.

@Rachel L. whatever mortgage amount you are retiring at closing needs to be matched (equal or greater) in your replacement property(ies).
