We have a means to add a person (or remove a person) from the rental agreement because it is not uncommon for the make up of households to change over time, but we do not tolerate unauthorized occupants just moving in.

Otherwise, you have added a number of individuals to your household who are unable (physically/legally/emotionally/etc) to pay for their own keep.So if one *really* wants to maximize investment potential, having kids should be pretty far down on the list.

.- Population growth: look for over 1% a year, easy to use Census data to compare to other MSAs- Median household income: 3x average rents, growing trend over time.

We've had a flood of $250K a year households come in that weren't here before.

The economy, unemployment rate, job growth, population growth, affordability, households making improvement(s), military/Veteran friendly environment, free market state, no income tax, etc. etc. all helped with our decision to become San Antonian transplants in the next month. 

My thoughts would be, how much household income could you have with your new status as an RE PRo?

I haven't set my household up to do this yet, and I'm not sure if we will try it or not.

Not the best environment for household goods . 

I decided the escalating values did not make sense financially, the average household income was still flat but the average house price doubled in a few years.
