To be successful your wife must embrace the challenge and become enthusiastic about the prospect of being in business regardless of the risk.  

We have amazing 1st floor tenants and I think we are comparing everyone to them which is sort of hurting our judgment on people.Tenant A:Young couple (mid 20's) with a child who is about 9 months oldMake over 3x rent requirement and have 600+ credit scorehave been living on their own with rent less than what mine isonly guy works, girlfriend does notThey want to move in for July 1st (because they want to give their current landlord 30 days notice, plus need to have time to get money to move in - first, last, security)No major red flags here, pretty basic coupleTenant B:18 year old fisherman and his 17 year old girlfriend/fianceHave been living on their own, paying $200 more a month for rent (looking to downsize)He makes anywhere from 2-5k each trip out, which would be more than enough to cover rent, she works at Taco bell, but really she doesn't even need to work in order for them to meet income requirementsvery enthusiastic about moving and will literally move in tomorrow if they could. 

I have come to Bigger Pockets to reach out to a community of knowledgable real estate investors, realtors and enthusiasts in order to become better informed on how to map out my next steps.

i don't want to blame the casino in Bethlehem for some of the current issues in reading or Allentown but I just might praise it as providing these fourclousures.

Those amenities are just on the side, as would be a casino, etc.

My name is Dexter Stewart, I am full-time student and a HUGE real estate enthusiast!

I know that they don't own any casinos and why would a billionaire derive profits from prostitution?

The 4th Ave location is labeled business 8 and has many smaller shopping centers and local restaurants that make it a better selection for air bnb than most of the rest of yuma west of 4th ave which is primarily family neighborhoods without any real attractions for visitors to enjoy.Also, the main street location would be the closest to the Quechan Casino on the Arizona and California border. 

I prop at one of the big casinos out here.The issue with finding a reliable agent is indeed my main concern.  

I`m looking forward to work together with you guys.Some very enthusiastic and warm Greetings from Tbilisi, Georgia.
