I am a full time working, 34 y/o, single mother; I am ready to make a financial change for my household!

If you let one household take possession for free, whether for two days or two weeks, you need to give all the same opportunity.

It could also be run as a short-term rental, as it's close to the Navy base and there are lots of displaced households and out of town contractors around.

@Jay Hinrichs Regarding holding a single note vs a single house: holding a single house means ownership over the property and an ability to maintain more consistent cash flows.

Here in CA, i believe there are anti-discrimation laws that state a landlord cannot discrimate on the SOURCE of the income, nor can they refuse households based on the sex of the applicant, or the number of applicants.While i totally understand the first 2 (source of income, as long as legal, and sex of applicants) I dont understand why if you are renting a studio with zero bedrooms, you can't limit the occupancy to say one person.Thoughts?

We didn't have a lot growing up (single parent household), and I think that had a lot to do with making me this way. 7.

If my wife and I had started on this path very young and with no background in this and, say, raking in upwards of $120,000 in household income yearly in our jobs, there's no way we would have gone into low-income landlording.

Usually costs more and does not give a descent return but what I have done for some of my tenants is offer them low interest personal loans for house hold items (TVs furniture etc.)

If you can afford to live in Canton, you have a household income of 80K to $150K easily.  

As part of the governmental push not to create high concentrations of underprivileged households in one location, which some argue creates a cycle of poverty, the Project Based Assistance contracts are no longer rewarded (the existing Projects that have HAP contracts can continue to operate and renew and there is a caveat that while no new contracts are rewarded you can transfer a contract from a facility where the owner does not wish to renew).
