I'm an investor and co-host in Dallas, TX--- and that's where I live. 

It isn't easy to make things pencil, and I don't see it getting much better over the next 12 months.I have changed my rental strategy to Co-Living (rent by the room).

Get a bank statement to cross-reference their paychecks as most employers now direct deposit.You'll also see if they have a savings history or are living paycheck-to-paycheck.If they are not paying rent right now and have no savings, how well do you think they'll be able to adjust their budget, so they can pay rent on time?

Your neighbor s as Sean mentioned, have a lower tax bill likely due to the fact that they live there and there are laws that prohibit the tax assessor from raising the property values more than 3% per year when it's your primary residence okay, it's also fairly common for your tax bill to significantly increase in the tax year after you purchase it.

I don't know Accessible CLG, but can say that we have rented to groups like this and have not had a problem.We have also rented to corporations who have people live there for only a few weeks at a time. 

I had taken the entire profits from this flip and I reinvested it 30m away from where this contractor lived (DFW) where I myself, live in Wisconsin.
