@Mitchell RosenbergYou can analyze median income of an area.

@Ezra Avery you might want to read below to understand Classes of Property/Tenants.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

A growing income stream is worth more--so I'd like to see growth so that there is a path to profit. 

Quote from @Kevin Robert Highgate: The ability to invest in property and replace your W2 income quickly is tough.

If you're really wanting real estate as a "passive" income I would look more into syndication investing and hard money lending.

STR income: $170K/year with pool.

Hi Kyle, I really like rentprep w/ income verification.

You also need to accommodate tenant schedules for showings.Relisting later might reset your listing's visibility, but delaying could cost you more in lost income.

Here are a few strategies to consider for funding a down payment:Partnering: Like Gregory mentioned, finding a partner who can contribute to the down payment in exchange for equity or a profit share is a solid option.HELOC or Cash-Out Refi: If you have equity in your home or another property, a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or cash-out refinance can provide the funds you need.Private Money: Reach out to friends, family, or private investors who may be interested in lending you the down payment with a promissory note.Seller Second: In some cases, the seller might agree to finance a portion of the down payment as a second mortgage.Live Frugally and Save: It takes time, but reducing expenses and setting aside funds from your income is a tried-and-true method.The right approach depends on your situation and deal structure, but a mix of creativity and resourcefulness can go a long way.

I've never really done a deep dive in analyzing the area because it is a retirement community, median income is very low, and there arent a lot of jobs in the area.
