Nonetheless, I am not out to impugn anyone's intentions and I do understand (as Jay rightfully points out) that the self-employed (my situation for the past 20 years) especially run into times in their lives when conventional lending sources are of no use due to limited reportable income and other factors (such as when, for example, you retire in your 50's and begin to live off of your lines of credit, etc.). 

Purchase is ~$500k and rental income will be ~$100k.Also rates may go down resulting in increased cash flow via a refinance.The answer to your question is there are a lot of different ways to make money via RE investing, but it used to be easier to find deals that work.  

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.

With your Fico and down payment, all you need to do is make sure you pass the debt to income requirements. 

@Polat Caglayan very ambiguosu question, but read the helpful info below to guide your next set of questions:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.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?

It depends if you need or want the money out or want an asset that will bring in income, especially since you own it cash.

Your cleaner's income has no bearing on yours.

If you think you'll hand it off to your PM to run and take the great amount of passive income as your great reward, there is so much more to it.  

Last but not least....A few members in replies have already mentioned why it makes sense to hold…….I very much appreciate ALL FEEDBACK, however I think it will be helpful to provide some added context as to why I am absolutely certain (and my CPA’s are convinced as well) on my decision to liquidate the entire portfolio and onceAs I educate clients on daily, income tax brackets as well as long term capital gain tax brackets in our country are more favorable right now than they've been at any point in the past 80 years.
