No complications, just a steady income stream.

I am married with a 2 year old little girl, I enjoy hanging out with friends and family, out doors, games, movies, music, etc.

Get a feel for negotiating.Once you have a steady stream of leads from both groups, things will start to fall into place.

and can you explain the process of how you showed them the rental income (Did you have inherited tenants that you could show an actual rental stream or did you have to show the bank what you would be charging for rent?)

for multiple streams of income.Just another idea. 

The buy and hold would slowly setup a steady stream of income, but take longer to achieve. 

If they cannot make it to one of my open houses, We can set up a Facetime, Facebook Live-Stream, Google Hangouts, Google Duo etc during one of my open housesThey fill out my online applicationI look it over to see if there's anything that will automatically disqualify them (evictions, not enough income).

@Chris Jensen I barely manage to fit it in between video games, binge drinking, and downloading movies.

With the loss of the potential income from the business investment, I needed to find another stream of income so returned to my former interest of investing in real estate sooner than I planned. 

Future rent stream is considered in qualifying plus loan is based on ARV.
