This might be ideal for you if you are looking to house-hack and get some college students to rent from you.

.- £4000 left from small inheritance that I ideally want to use towards holidays before I'm 30 but again, I'm open to other suggestions if it helps the cause.My goal is to make at least £8000 per month in cash flow once all expenses are taken into account (including principal repayments) by the time I'm 40 on a part time basis while I hold down a full time job.

If you have a bank or ideally a specific banker that you recommend, please let me know.

Bad" market areas, which a number of people might include South Providence and Olneyville in, tend to be much cheaper, so the returns are better - but properties in those areas also tend to be much more management intensive.If you're going to be managing yourself, which is a very good way to get familiar with an area, I'd say stick within 1/2 hour (ideally 15-20 minutes) of wherever you're going to spend most of your time (home, if you'll be retired).You'll find very quickly that before you know it, you'll probably develop the Rhode Island mindset of not wanting to drive too far, and it's just easier to stay on top of properties when they're closer by.I'm much more familiar with properties in the Warwick/Coventry/West Warwick and north part of the state, so if you know you're going to be centered around Newport I'd suggest connecting with some people specifically around there.

Does it tie into the Biggerpocket ideals and methodology?

The terms are ideal, the investment package is high risk.

May I ask for a broad brush stroke numbers?

@Joe Ferguson Your approach of $100 cash flow per door, 60-80 units, eliminating the burden of property management seems an ideal way to reach my goal.

If you are more a numbers oriented person, then an accounting, finance, or even economics track might be ideal (and fyi these can be the most marketable and lucrative but if numbers or spreadsheets are torture, see below).If you are a more people-skills oriented person, think more about management, human resources, or maybe a marketing emphasis area in your BBA.Overall, I think it is a good investment as I bet you could find a job well in excess of your current pay with a BBA degree in much of the US (maybe even double or more!!!)....

Ideally you want "Special Form" with Replacement cost coverage.
