I basically did this except the "friends" part. It became too time consuming because I would have to constantly keep track of who actually visited my town, remove people who never visited, and find/add new ones. It was a constant cycle. I did have a house farm at the beginning which I kept in the far corner so it wasn't a blight on my town. I set everyone on 12hr tasks and then once I got to 1M I ended up farming the white houses since I was checking in only 2x a day and wanted to get the most of them. I stopped buying houses when I hit 200 houses earning 100k per day. When I finally hit 100M I stored my house farm and rebuilt Springfield again. I've rebuilt 3x already. I am now down to about 20M and am actually considering house farming again if/when we can purchase more land. But until then I am back to everyone and everything set at12hr tasks.

You don't have to keep track of who visits you, that's unnecessary and frankly it's greedy.

Outside of events where you get something from their visits the neighbors are more like money makers than anything else- donuts and a cool $300/25 XP per neighbor or about $30,300/2,525 XP for the entire list. What you get from others giving to you is extra,

OP: 100 neighbors and visiting them every day is your quickest way to get money. In the long run you can get by with about 12-20 houses in addition to the required houses. This is more than enough to give you XP and money while not being a "house farm". Just decorate them with trees and fences creating a neighborhood, it's supposed to be a town after all!
