Case workers look at things such as disability, are the potential tenants collecting food stamps, child support, do they have other income, SS, how many children, what ages are the children etc etc etc.....In your earlier comment you said average for 3bedroom is around $900.

I personally know several families with spouses and children that rent out a portion of their home (finished basement/private entrance room, etc.) that offset their mortgage substantially.

If children fit your demographic I would also recommend bunk beds in one of the rooms complete with games, tv, etc.

American children and students are taught how to develop themselves to be desirable to an employer, how to pay into the system and work full time or double time to until they either drop dead or live long enough to "retire."  

How dare you mention my children as you continue to defend the indefensible !!

Contract marked owner occupied, there is NO tenant in subject or proof tenant moves out, no rent back from seller... you cannot use rents to qualify, do not rent the property, there are ways this is checked and considered dishonorable.Your wife and children can move in and you can come and go as your service requires. 

I’d love to get this group’s thoughts on what to do with 3 acres of undeveloped land (no septic, no water) in the Texas Hill Country that I plan to eventually pass on to my children (read: never sell because it’s family land).

We have held it since then and are not planning to sell because our children have asked us not to.Good luck on your search.It was disappointing, BUT, I now had contact, why not make an offer.

This reminds of the argument that with people are having less children and family formation declining this is bullish for bitcoin.
