Quote from @Jeff Calcaterra: We have a potential tenant new to the area who has gone through a paid background check, signed a background check authorization form, sent us a LinkedIn profile, sent an offer letter and says he is willing to send us paycheck stubs, but says he doesn't want us to call HR to verify employment because he is supposed to have found housing already.

Where to get the most recent and accurate data for things like:Unemployment dataPopulation growthJob diversity and top employers in the areaVacancy rates (eg huduser.org)Property taxes and jnsurance costsI saw bp pro and reventure and a bunch of other websites provide some of this data, but i wonder how accurate and recent it is.

On top of that, hiring tribal members for construction or operations could qualify for employment-related tax credits.

For individuals with full-time jobs in other industries, meeting this threshold is challenging unless real estate is a substantial focus outside regular employment.

I currently don't show income and just left my other place of employment.

You can fund it with funds in former employer plans and/or IRA accounts.  

Focus on cities with favorable price-to-rent ratios, population growth, and employment trends, such as Des Moines, Oklahoma City, and Charlotte, while considering factors like landlord-friendliness and property taxes.

Just don't see the S-Corp or another LLC having a place here..I've heard tax advisors say it takes around $70k min of self employment income for the break even point for S-Corp to make sense.

You need to have a property with a certain size lot in order to add units.
