I was born in Cuba, but I have been in this amazing country since I was a child.

I think Section 8 will still consider an adult child a dependent, if that person is still in school. 

Only way we can probably get in another property this soon would be if we had a child( the need for more room) or the property Is real close to my job which from what I’m told by some lenders would be a good enough reason for the underwriter.

So based off this calculation I determined that my portfolio is strong enough to move on with my expansion plan into a new market.Business expenses as % of total expenses : 70%   1) Fixed Expenses:        a)Monthly Mortgages: 45% b)Property Taxes: 18.7%c)Utilities Expenses: 14.8% d)Licenses & Insurance:  5.4% 2) Variable expense - Water bills + repair expense : 16%  Personal Expense as % of total expenses: 30% My monthly living expensesa)Housing: 39.7% b)Child Care: 25.4%c)Living expense: 22.2% d) Food: 7.9 %e) Insurance: 4.8Income 1) Total Income - 100%  A) Rental Income: 42%  B) Wage income (W-2) : 26 %  C) House Flipping Revenue: 23%  D) Property Management Revenue: 5%  E) Stocks/Dividends: 4% Please let me know if you would like help walking through this process as it has been super helpful to understand my financial situation or send you the spread sheet I used.

This would be perfectly fine and something we recommend if a parent wants to 1031 into a house for a child - Make a lease, collect rent, declare income, and then gift back to the child if you really don't want to collect rent.It sounds like the way you've done it is a little fuzzier. 

I am not sure how long it was before the window units came into play, but any nights without them were probably hell, and dangerous for the child.

I would stare at house plan books for hours on end as a child, before creating my own floor plans.

And we didnt have the cash to fix it how we wanted.So fast forward too February 2018, 3 years and another child later, my family and I experienced a house fire and let me tell you, it was horrifying.

China buys a LOT of US Bonds, driving interest rates higher if they react Trade wars can raise interest rates because they drive inflation, and the Federal Reserve is as allergic to too much inflation as I am to shellfish, and interest rate increases are their tool of choice.China is the biggest holder of US notes.
