Those on other sources of government cash such as disability often may qualify due to overall household income. 

A professional manager can find qualified tenants who respect your home and handle day-to-day issues.

Research ways to use your education to help you qualify for a loan (did you know that some lenders allow college credits that translate directly to the line of work the graduate pursues to count towards work experience, accelerating the borrower's opportunity to get approved for a mortgage?). 

I've had qualified renters move into a rental, add their bum friends or family members, and then disappear, leaving me with bad renters who weren't approved and aren't on the lease.The best practice is to screen every adult, approve them, and add them to the lease. 

Areas like Ohio seem to be mentioned quite a bit on the message boards for better affordability.  

@Brad Kanouse Using Traditional IRA funds for an investment property typically incurs income tax and a 10% penalty if you’re under 59½, as investment properties don’t qualify for tax exemptions.

Roof, floors, bathrooms and vanities, paint, appliances. same market rent as above.I'm open to Atlanta opportunities.I would qualify both as BRRRRs. 

Check AirDNA for demand, pricing, etc.The Dekalb Board of Commissioners has proposed regulations for short-term rentals. https://engagedekalb.dekalbcountyga.gov/airbnb-dekalb-countyShort term rentals require you or your property manager to be hands-on and come with more risk.

Under this rule, if you spend at least 100 hours on the property and no one else exceeds your time spent, you can qualify as materially participating.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.
