There are lots of events that happen in our lives that cause big disruptions to our goals and plans.

Otherwise, one of these major hiccups because a big disruption in your entire life.So, if you now have a realistic value for rental income, then look at all your other income and expenses.

Let's disrupt the SA market guys/gals!

These were all 6 month leases and we told everyone that we didn't want to disrupt anything so nothing was going to change during the first 6 months. 

They see it as you are inconveniencing them for your benefit to re-lease and causing a disruption to them.No legal advice.

So if rents in your area are $1000/month per door, then you will need 10 doors to gross $1,000/month - so target what you are capable of what you can do on your own, without disrupting your current job.Good luck!

This all turns into stuff folks do not want to hear as it disrupts their plan of disposing of these properties.

Everyone got excited, Zillow was going "disrupt Real Estate," and "change the paradigm," and all the other marketing BS the techno-weenies in Silicon Valley spew about Real Estate (and every other cause celeb bandwagon they jump on trying to make a buck by automating everything - anyone remember web-based grocery deliveries?) 

As for (realty brokerage catering) MLS services also offering (competing) LO, or other 'owner- financed' listings... that won't happen unless / until there's sufficient 'disruptive' reorganization and / or other larger realty companies start (seriously) thinking outside the 'traditional' box, vs. partnering with the likes of that (big lending - insider) company that was making people sign an absurd 50+ page LO contract (and ripping many of them off...) giving 'rent to own' home purchases, a BAD NAME.

Also, you should be able to pay PITI on your own without disrupting your personal lifestyle if vacant (I'm pretty conservative though).
