Do you mean a down payment on a property??

Some of these renters are capitalizing on low interest rates and choosing to buy, but many are unable to buy due to lack of down payment or credit factors. 

They do, however, have up to 60 days to return a security deposit after a tenant moves out.If an eviction is necessary for nonpayment, landlords are required to send a seven-day written notice of the payment due.

Right now my debt is sitting at around 154k (8k outstanding interest payments). 

We’ve found that traveling healthcare professionals are typically great tenants—responsible, clean, and reliable.

You typically get the monthly payments but also backed by portfolio and not one note.

Think about it: most of them are able-bodied adults who choose to live (mostly) free off the backs of others rather than contribute to society.Rent payments are usually steady, but Section 8 tenants took a lot more work upfront, throughout their tenancy and at the end of their tenancy.

If it's in your name you can look into the potential for a HELOC or potentially refinance to pull out some of the equity you've created, but you'll need to do the math to see if you're payments will increase based on the new loan terms.

Furnished Finder does make it tricky since you need separate profiles for each room, but platforms like Apartments.com or Airbnb might work better if you're aiming for full-house rentals or structured by-the-room arrangements.If you decide to rent to multiple individuals:Tenant Screening: Screen each tenant thoroughly to ensure they’re reliable and responsible.Clear Communication: Introduce potential tenants to one another Detailed Agreements: Use separate leases for each tenant and specify shared vs. private spaces, utilities, and maintenance responsibilities.House Rules: Create clear, written house rules to prevent misunderstandings.Inventory Tracking: Document everything in the home (furniture, appliances, etc.) to avoid disputes about damage or missing items.Also, market your property with its flexibility in mind—like proximity to hospitals for traveling nurses or universities for graduate students.

This would allow me to save money compared to paying cash or the huge Down-payment DSCR loans require.
