If she can provide a legitimately good reason for the bankruptcy and has documentation to supplement her reasoning she may be worth considering.

I can supplement this with the rental income from the best SFRs and multifamily already in the portfolio and call it a day.If I didn't mind adding additional rentals and the incremental management involved I would go SFR buy and hold all the way but unfortunately after the recent price run up I would not be very interested in the 5% returns that the market is offering.

,Consider downloading my "2013 Housing Market Forecast" to supplement your spreadsheet.Having a higher average rent relative to the average property value is good but only one part of the bigger picture.You want to consider the health of the local economy (jobs and job growth, employment trends, migration in and out, etc.)Next you want to consider the neighborhood, and finally a close look at the property itself in terms of cash flow, cash-on-cash return, and total ROI.I bought some property in specific parts of Detroit in early 2004 when things were looking 'up' for the city.

He can take the cash, invest it and pay the lower rent. 200k should be a good supplement to his income to 100

Just went to boot camp graduation at Great Lakes a couple weeks ago. 900 new recruits every Friday, quite a ceremony.If you can swing it, buying a house at every duty station, then keeping the house and renting when the orders come, makes a nice supplemental retirement plan.I know several military that have houses scattered across the country.One year I was at Wright Pat in November, and it was the coldest Nov I can remember.

The redevelopment of the land into what is now Atlantic Station was financed largely by private investment, but was heavily supplemented by a special tax district to pay for city tax bonds for public utilities (streets, sidewalks, and sewers).

I was recently laid off (which was a blessing in disguise) and trying to figure out a way to efficiently supplement my missing income while having a flexible/ self-managing schedule.

HI BP just wanted to introduce myself Im new to investing looking to buy my first rentals I have been researching a few markets Memphis, Akron, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo ext. just ready to get my feet wet looking for cash flow to eventually supplement my retirement.

first off its a complete pipe dream to think you can just live running rentals and its not a full time job.you seeing it now with the few you have what do you think it will be like with 50. or 100.. which is what you need to replace your income. at least according to your math.many will say PM does it.. well there goes a big chunk of your income and you need more doors to afford someone else to deal with the three TTTs.... personally I would look at a combination.. some rental income to supplement your income .. but to fully replace it .. not so sure in your market.. some markets in the US.. were you can buy rentals for the price of cars.. well that can work.. in higher priced markets pretty tough and unrealistic .. so don't get discouraged.. just get real.. and deal with reality.. 

good place to invest is TExas as long as you live there.. you get the benefit of no income tax to supplement your sky high property tax's in Texas.. buy and hold can be challenge there if you are not a resident... prop taxs  shifting foundations.. etc etc..
