@Serge Hounkponou Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

A lot of our housing stock here has finished basements or in-law suites, so with something like that you can generate significant rental income for an inexpensive conversion. 

As the cleaning company continues to grow, I am looking to invest in real estate to create more passive income. 

I'm a local real estate broker, investor, and manager (100+ rentals, mostly Airbnb/STR and multifamily).House hacking is a tried-and-true method and in Sacramento you can produce some meaningful income while enjoying the appreciation and tax benefits of owning real estate.

Can you lease an apt under USDA low income and have someone else live there???

Having watched many prior co-workers get paid, cash their check at the casino, and promptly deposit it all into a slot machine I can tell you with pretty good certainty that casinos don't have a positive effect on disposable income and good use of the existing income in the area surrounding :)Are there solid local employers OTHER than the casino in a 15-minute drive? 

Despite having generous incomes, some of them are utterly irresponsible with the property and leave a disaster behind when they move. 

Median incomes are an insane gap from cost of household/properties.

Akron is a very blue city and are not very landlord friendly - source of income protections, etc... 

They're highly popular for turnkey rental properties because qualification is primarily based on the income generated by the property itself rather than the borrower.
