If there's any equity there and they can't pay the mortgage they are going to eventually lose the house anyway. 

BEST DECISION I EVER DID WAS MAKE MY WIFE MY BUSINESS PARTNER THIS YEAR FELT LIKE NEW BEGINNINGS LEAVING A OLD PARTNERSHIP AND STARTING A NEW ONE LITTLE  DID WE KNOW THIS FLIP WOULD BE THE WORSE THING WE DID THIS YEAR TALK ABOUT A HOUSE THAT WOULDN'T STOP SPITTING OUT PROBLEMS FROM SQUATTERS BREAKING IN , FROM THE CITY CONSTANTLY GIVING VIOLATIONS, WE EVENTUALLY TOOK A LOSS OVER 50K OUCH!!  

Eventually someone bites.

The modest cash flow could be reinvested, eventually allowing me to build a portfolio of income-generating properties.I recognize your point about needing $2.5M–$3M in cash to consistently replace a six-figure income.

I am seeking mentors and or guides to help me invest in business that can eventually help offset W2 income tax.

I also work as a RN and looking to transition to real estate full time eventually.

For the immediate time, I'd love any contractors and handymen suggestions, but eventually, to work with agents to buy and sell in the area. 

The investment is a little bit more upfront since you'll have to furnish the room and bathroom fully, but you may be able to command a higher rent each month since you're covering all utilities, WIFI, and providing all the furnishings.Either way, renting out the room is a great idea and I'm sure it will be helpful so you can rest a little bit easier while you save to move to Lakeview, eventually :)

Move in, then eventually move out then purchase another 1-4 units as owner occupied, then move in and out rinse and repeat as they say.I'd be happy to discuss any financing options, whether owner occupied properties or investments properties I can help.ThanksCraig

She’s currently not paying rent, and while she has some health issues and no stable income, she’s been communicative and open to general talks, with a possible option to vacate through a cash-for-keys arrangement, though this might take around six weeks and some hard work.I plan to rehab the property and eventually rent it out, potentially to a Section 8 tenant.
