My parents quickly came to the aid of me and my family, helping my wife and kids move in while I was in a hospital bed.  

@Brian Garrett I travel Florida for my day job (Healthcare IT sales), and its all of FL. 

I'm a 33 yr old married Austinite Healthcare Software Developer by day, and an enthusiastic RE Investor by night.

Listed on the application is $2000 from work and $5,540 from Grad Student Financial Aid. 

I have 0 incentive to help, this is all in an effort to pick the brains of those more experienced to aid in decision making

My husband worked at legal aid until just recently and spent a lot of time in eviction court while he was there.

I am currently working full-time in healthcare and am pursuing to cover all my families living expenses with our rental portfolio (lean FI) and that timeline would be pushed back if this scenario where to take place. 

I do work a full time job plus a part time gig also and do teach first aid and cpr as another business. 

You can probably live a better life style on 6k of w2 because of  Benefits  (health care being the big one)  Conventional loans are going to be tough, your income is going to be scrutinized more.  

My wife is an amazing decorator and we are toying with the idea of leaving all furniture/ammenities in the house and renting to mid-term renters (people relocating needing a place while they get settled, healthcare providers doing residencies etc..)...I'd really appreciate any feedback from anyone who has experience with this..ideas on advertising, pricing rents, contracts etc....thanks in advanceBrian
