it's somewhat heart wrenching @Sofia Duque, it sounds like you found someone who DESPERATELY needs a place BUT can also afford to PAY THRU THE NOSE for it.

I always travel with a docupen and can scan a page at a moments notice if I get some good data in front of my nose.

Given that there are no large US markets that they do not service, I am inclined to think that there is not much the local MLS can do about, else some hard nosed MLS would have already done it.

The interesting thing was she allowed travel time as RE 'involvement' time :) However, I quickly realized that the mileage audit was the proverbial 'camel nose under the tent' so it was cat & mouse for the 3 days.

You hit it on the nose hear, low end is low end - and that does not change.

Your first option is to punch your student loan debt in the nose.  

Instant gratification, make me a millionaire next year, do deals laced with laws and regulations most here have no clue about, that's not RE.Want to learn, okay, go find some whizbang, follow them, just start doing deals, you'll learn the hard way in time I'm sure, no skin off my nose.

I definitely wouldn't turn my nose up at a market-value rent-ready property that cash-flows! 

Schedule E identifies the income as "passive" which means no SE tax.I'm sure there are other folks in the situation - but I haven't been able to find any court cases or determination letters that point to guidance.How are other folks dealing with the situation?

But still wanted to add in my two cents.I've had two experiences where my own credit score nose-dived for, imo, no reason considering the rest of my report.
