Of course your tenants should be permitted to have guests, but if she claims to live there without being on the lease that's an issue irregardless of gender.

My vote would be for something accounting or business related but I might be a little bias :)   Best of luck!   

@Jesse Houser you came to a real estate forum, so of course there is going to be major bias here towards real estate.

Are you sure you don’t have any bias at work?

However between that modest salary bump, and the half million in student loan debt (they're already conditioned to go as far in debt as someone will let them, self selection bias is a thing), they can get jammed up.That same doctor in Idaho has the same amount of student loan debt, makes 25% less, and a $900k home is a REALLY nice home.

Everything mentioned in this thread seems to be pretty standard hurdles and obstacles that both genders of RE investor struggle with.

I'm still trying to get over my bias against it but come time to move i'm sure that'll be the dominant option, assuming there's any rental in town with a sub-year lease option (such as https://www.rentals.com/Maine/...).Thanks again for your reply - it was enlightening, rambled the exact right amount, and was a pleasure to read!

@Graham Dersley I came here to impart some wisdom, but I see @Jay Hinrichs and @James Wise have beat me to it ;) While I may be personally biased toward turnkey, conservative as I am, but I think I maintain a pretty unbiased attitude here on BP - both the self-assembled team route and turnkey have merit and both work for many many people.

Looks to me like we might have folks who have preconceived notions about something someone will post and they are caught in biased thinking before they ever read a post, or, they read into it where their bias takes them, instead of actually reading what is said.If you only come to do battle in the forums, you're not going to get much out of them.

An idea crept into my head, and with self preservation bias I thought it was marvelous.
