I have had the discussions with my wife about wanting to earn passive income through rental properties and we are on board with the idea.

She doesn't have enough monthly income.

I am looking to invest in the future for additional income for retirement and to help build something that I can past to my son.

Affordability: Oklahoma offers affordable real estate options, making it easier to acquire properties in the desired price range.2.Rental Demand: OKC has a steady demand for rental properties, particularly in the affordable housing segment, which can ensure a consistent income stream.3.Economic Growth: The state's economy, including sectors like energy, aerospace, and healthcare, contributes to a stable job market, attracting renters and supporting property values.4.Investor-Friendly Environment:Oklahoma's landlord-friendly laws and reasonable property taxes make it favorable for real estate investors.5.

I do live in my building so my income from the other 2 units in the building go toward my mortgage payment.

@Eileen L.Generally it's right if you can grow you income or equity by moving into a different asset type.

More importantly... by paying yourself from your rental income, you are converting passive income into earned income, subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes.

It's a very unique investment in that I have to pay for all the utilities but the income is very good when the house is full.

We are both residential appraisers working the NE Florida markets looking to transition over the LONG term to replacing our modest annual income through small/mighty single-family by buying in the path of progress where prices appear to be somewhat undervalued relative to long-term upside potential.

Buyer's have to have at least 620 credit score and income below either 126K or 95K.
