In order for me to achieve a killer rate on a new/larger place (and quite frankly qualify at all), I need to have a lease in place on my condo to show that my income to expense ratio is at an acceptable level.I am having a hard time getting my head around the logistics of making this happen while limiting my exposure and not leaving my family homeless. 

Hello Bigger Pockets community. I’m a new transplant to the Saint Louis area. I stay busy with my day job as a regional airline pilot based at the Lambert St. Louis Airport. Up to this point, I have been renting rooms...

Ours was a unique situation since we were homeless due to military orders and our realtor was able to speak to someone high up and make a plea.

You might want ask around your area about the VA's Supportive Housing program.In a nutshell, it's intended to provide housing for homeless veterans either near where they receive treatment for injuries and psych. issues or near public transit which can help them get to their treatment facilities.

It's frightening to see how many homeless are piling up on the streets here in CA each day more; we dont expect to stick around after grad if this ambiance keeps up.So like, aren't we entitled to offer each of our 2 available bedrooms for single occupancy only?

Yet on your tax returns you look like a worse-than-homeless guy with huge losses.  

To recap, they may be homeless while you try to find a private lender and, the terms most likely will not be as favorable.Why not make a lot of money on rent and only buy one rehab house?

In 2013 I did a lease option on a 29 bed facility in Philadelphia, PA to help get homeless veterans off the street.

I'm somewhat against both of these ideas because its and established neighborhood of $115-$135k houses and I'm not sure I'd be able to make much of a profit on these.My last idea would be to try and find some sort of grant to build long term housing to build 2 houses that meet the specific needs of either individuals with special needs or perhaps disabled or homeless vets? 

If so, how would I go about doing it so I wont end up homeless while looking for my new home??
