However, if you desire to build a sustainable business model you must factor in all your costs.

North Carolina, for instance, offers robust opportunities in single-family rentals due to sustained population growth, diverse job sectors in technology and healthcare, and accessible entry points in cities like Charlotte and Raleigh, where local networks are readily available through active investor communities.If you'd like to discuss further, we are happy to help.

It will be interesting to see how much those areas improve.There is certainly a lot of wild exaggeration coming from these “AI thought leaders” as opposed to a clear plan for a sustainable AI business model.

I’m not perfect, but I’m hungry to keep learning, improving, and building sustainable success.Right now, my biggest limitation is capital.

Otherwise, it just isn't sustainable unless you have other assets backing it up.

Hello @Annette Barnett,It’s difficult—if not impossible—to find a city where new single-family homes cost less than $350,000 and still deliver sustained, above-inflation appreciation and rent growth.

Maybe by year 5 you have real cash flow (meaning enough to cover sustained maintenance/ cap ex) and all other expenses).   

Learning as you go while planning to reinvest profits is a smart and sustainable strategy.This community is a great place to sharpen your skills, avoid common pitfalls, and connect with others who’ve walked the same path.

Since then I've been looking into investing with the goal of creating sustainable cash flow.

The more help you hire (the thing that makes STR ownership actually sustainable), the harder it becomes to qualify for the tax benefits you were promised.Your manager is good at their job and works efficiently?
