Rents under $600/mo and poverty

[Account Closed]

How many of you have tenants paying $600 and under who aren't living at or below the poverty line? Don't take offense. I'm well aware that $600 can rent some nice units and is enough for a mortgage payment in some parts of the country. I know that plenty of tenants are making choices about how to spend their money.

As a landlord you are presumably looking at income versus rent. A tenant making $1800/mo is making three times a $600 rent, a formula many landlords are happy with. A 4 person family making $21600 is pretty much at or below the federal poverty line level.

So how of you have tenants with $600 rents who aren't living below the poverty line?
