Let’s get real about what $5,000 to $10,000 a month in rental income actually requires.
A single rental cash flowing $300-$500 a month after expenses is realistic for a well-bought property.
That means hitting $5,000/month takes roughly 10-16 properties at that pace.
But here’s where it shifts.
A fourplex — one purchase, four units — can cash flow $1,500-$3,000 a month by itself depending on the market.
Suddenly that 10-16 property goal becomes 2-4 multifamily properties instead.
This is why multifamily matters so much in this community. It’s not about owning more buildings — it’s about owning the right kind of buildings.
Does that math surprise you or is it about what you expected?
