And although lenders are stricter with verification of self employment income, showing two years of tax returns with sufficient income does qualify.Theoretically, passive income, rental income, dividends, interest income, etc. should enable you to qualify the same as self employment, i.e. as long as you can show 2 years sufficient income on tax returns. 

I discovered this site last night when I should have been sleeping, when I was researching passive income.

I probably didn't expand my search enough geographically (limited myself to properties within a 30-minute commute of the Irvine Business Complex where I worked at the time), but I couldn't find anything that would meet the FHA self-sufficiency rule.Fast forward to 2015, and I eventually found a 4-unit to house hack using FHA, all the way up in Santa Clarita.

I've also posted a note on each of the 2 basement doors, that basements are not living quarters and you can't hang out and sleep in them at night.

If it is not inside their unit or in a common area obstructing there passage you are not interfering with reasonable enjoyment.Only possible exception would net if they are shift workers sleeping during the day.Why do you feel any discount is warranted.

I can sleep peacefully now :) Thanks again!

She does it for free and I get to sleep with her.

I need a place to rent for this Saturday (3-10-18) in Simpsonville, SC that can sleep 6+ people.

For personal reasons, leverage makes me nervous and I sleep better at night knowing I don't have $500000 in debt.

I visited the up-and-coming area by the beach (aka the 4-5 blocks) one night and loved it, and some properties west of the track are sufficiently close to the beach in my opinion.
