@Kristine Lambert  I would find this odd if the son is older but if he is college age just could be just a difference in the definition of living with her. 

Equity and retirement assets wont do anything for DTI unless youre retirement age, have a plan in place to create income via IRA distributions, and have a sufficient balance for the distributions to continue for at least three years. 

It can come at the very end so that you're not wasting your time (and theirs), but the kind of long term damage that a bad tenant will cause to a property is not something that they can quickly and easily hide so you want to get eyes on how they are currently living.The age of the house has nothing to do with section 8.

Money always flows where it can buy the most value, but even in the age of remote work, migration trends take time years if not a decade to unfold.Inflation is the devaluation of currency.

One thing to think about is the age of the home.

It sounds like you are using building age and that makes no sense to me.

If your income grows, you’ll be in a higher tax bracket, so paying taxes now at a lower rate makes sense.3) Access to Funds: The government keeps pushing back the age at which you can withdraw from these accounts without penalties.

It's great to see your enthusiasm for real estate investing at such a young age.

On one document I received it states: "The individual (applicant) is mentally competent but due to age or physical infirmity is unable to manage his or her property and affairs effectively and, recognizing this disability, has requested a conservator's appointment"It also states the conservator is: "conservator of all assets of the individual's estate".What I'm wondering is do I need the conservator to also be the co-signer on the lease?
