It does take 1-2 weeks to accomplish, so does require some effort and monitoring on your part, but sounds like you are a diligent self-money manager, so should be easy for you to accomplish. 

Tenant moved in the first week of December and there's been an excess of communication from the owners for somewhat minor issues or concerns.- Tenant submitted a work order for low water pressure in 2 bathrooms- Tenant submitted a work order because the garage door doesn't close all the way and left a 2-3 inch gap at the bottom- Owner initially refused to address either work order- Owner demanding the tenants place furniture pads on each piece of furniture- Owner calling multiple times to speak through the work orders, asking when they've been scheduled, calling a couple days later requesting the invoices- Owner calling because they want to access their storage in the basement so they can remove several pieces of furniture being stored- Owner now emailing requesting multiple property inspections throughout the lease cycle- Owner questioning my experience and relative PM knowledge because I'm not following up with her in a timely manner (the following day after the work order)Keep in mind, this is 2 weeks after the tenants had moved in and the tenants are very happy in the home.This is something we see on a regular basis.

If you're W2 but hourly and "variable", meaning you don't consistently work the same fulltime hours each week, then you'll still have to average income over the past two years and may not qualify at all, depending on the circumstances.What will not work is using an S Corp to pay yourself via W2.

I just posted a YouTube video about just that recently :-)

We need to close in 1 week and worst case I may need to buy all cash and refi to a different lender losing my property inspection fee the lender charged.Is this a townhouse or condo?

Highs in the 15s and lows will be 0 this week.
