I'm striving for long term cash flow.

Thank you @Michael Plaks for providing a simple and straightforward case study.Clearly these are the kinds of problems we are all striving for.

We use a YTD paystub and last year’s W-2(s) to calculate income several different ways:Hourly or salary income calculated to a monthly amountYTD income divided by number of YTD monthsYTD + W-2(s) income divided by the corresponding number of monthsIf these numbers vary too much, then we investigate and require an acceptable Letter of Explanation.Employment StabilityUnless an applicant has exceptional credit, we strive to determine their stability of employment to make sure they’ll always be able to pay the rent on time.

I strived to listen to the tenants and accommodate them when the request was within reason. 

It’s something that we need to strive for in life, colleges, business etc.

It would be nice to meet some of y'all in person and see how our businesses are striving, let me know!

I am a leader in what I do now but I am a humble eager learner who is always striving to learn, know and do new things.

@David FaulknerFew questions:1) Since you've preferred to invest in an appreciating market versus investing in an area that might cashflow well but not appreciate, what balance of cashflow & appreciation did you strive to achieve when you first started out?

I strive to achieve financial freedom one day and take care of my parents as they get older with time passing on.

It is great to hear people trying and striving to get out of the rat race and pursue their dreams of financial stability.
