Income tax refund (forced savings account where govt keeps your interest) gives them the cash they need for first month's rent + security deposit.10) Realities of S8: most tenants no longer have 100% of rent paid by the program.- Good luck getting them to pay their portion for the duration of their lease- Be careful including utilities in the rent as they then won't care about a running toilet resulting in a $500 water bill.- S8 tenants don['t want to pay application fees- S8 tenants cry broke about paying security deposits- S8 tenants in the program for 10+ years claim ignoreance on filling out their paperwork because they've learned a desperate landlord will do it for them.If you want a S8 tenant, you MUST advertise on www.AffordableHousing.com

I went through something similar when I moved for work; I rented for a bit while figuring out the market and ended up investing in a rental property that really paid off.

A fully paid for larger MF. 

My thoughts are to do an addendum (but not sure how to word it since she will have pre-paid her part until may) and let them figure out the security deposit between themselves at the end of the lease.

This loan will have the highest cash to close requirement out of these three examples although the interest payment is merely being fronted as opposed to being paid monthly. 

Up until then I was cheerleading the earlier thought experiments about supporting lean/regular/fat income with ~$1000 / month per paid off SFH, thinking “I could bang that out in 5 years”.

Nothing over $250 gets paid without my team's approval.

They either:- Completely dump everything on us and then aren't happy with the results, or- Try to micromanage us, which we can't do as we aren't paid enough to be "personal assistants". 

I can wait it out from  having properties paid off .

We apply 50% to 2nd month's rent and if 2nd, 3rd & 4th months rent are paid on time, the other 50% in month 4 or 5.
