I’m also considering advising my tenant to look into Section 8 assistance, as it could help support their financial situation while allowing me to adjust the rent closer to market levels.

But Im heavily lacking true mentorship to take me to my intended goal of reaching the financial independence community so I can continue to gain more of my freedom and time with loved ones!

For example when someone wants to have financial freedom and spend more time with family, but then sets a goal by creating a heavy active income stream that involves their personal involvement daily.

You should also check to ensure they have Errors & Omissions insurance, Fidelity Bond coverage, and a Financial Institution Blanket Bond.Some are more consultative and advisory and provide guidance, while others are just processors. 

what kind of investment was/is this  a little more detail may protect others if you think this person is a financial predator.  

When you do not have the financial support this is the best way to start. 

For example, not having on-site storage can cause a lot of logistical and financial issues.

Real estate investors are sitting on an untapped goldmine of financial leverage through EIN Corporate Credit, a strategic tool many overlook.

Quote from @Jeff Nash: Take a look at Independent Financial.  

That said, there are some things to consider....The reason the other people on this thread were talking about a lease is because of your debt to income ratio.
