The guy is meeting the rental criteria income wise.

Live way below your means and save the majority of your income.

Since comps are limited, analyze similar nearby locations to estimate demand.When pitching investors, focus on a clear business case: expected income, expenses, occupancy, and ROI.

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

Start by deepening your understanding of CRE fundamentals, including net operating income (NOI), cap rates, and lease structures like triple net (NNN).

The only taxes I remit directly now are the tiny town tax they implemented of 1%.I just take my net income spreadsheet and calculate the 1% and give them a check.

That would allow you to put down less knowing you have that income coming in.Otherwise, is it possible to consider moving somewhere more affordable so you can reach that financial freedom you want? 

Yes, about 82% of properties are matched to a person in DealMachine - you get their phone, email, age, birthday, income level, renting OR owning.

This property gives me significant income, so losing it would be an extreme loss.

The calculator estimates that operating expenses are equal to 50% of the monthly income.  50% is a rough guide.
