Long track record of employment.

We have a lot more "under employed" than "Unemployed" in our country and these folks are stretched very thin. 

I’m in my mid thirties and employed as a chemical tank truck driver.

In most cases, the net tax is not significant, and you will still very much reap the benefits of applying leverage such as higher cash-on-cash return.If you are self-employed with some kind of side business, and that business has no employees, you would qualify for a Solo 401k plan.  

Also, what are your employment plans for when you separate?

My default position has always been, "No one will take better care of your property than you".However, here's a list of issues that can force you into using a PM:Out of State - non local propertiesRE inventory that requires too much of your personal timeSpecific properties with a unit count that then require onsite managerIn Calif, (3) the count is 16 or more units, and if you hire a manager, then you have to follow all the employer regulations, which easily adds 35% above the salary. 

Also I am self employed and it is almost impossible for me to find reasonable conventional financing, almost limited to these type deals or owner financing.

I'm self-employed with no employees and my business will net about $100K this year.  

I am not self-employed (earned income), but some say I could be easily (EBay, MLM, etc.).3.

I work full time making ok money (80k year), which i want to stay employed.
