It's a life style decision only.

But that was a definite lifestyle change, and probably not a turnkey solution you can expect of your typical tenant.Given that you need to get the ones that are hiding between the baseboard and wall, in the little nooks and crannies, and all that, I too would suggest nuking the place with 300 degrees of glorious inferno.

How can I get out of this constant pay check to pay check life style without credit or a good source of income.

@Omar Khan, great lifestyle but betting harder to do RE business. 

Those of us that have been successful often try to be incouraging and supportive without considering we may be imparting false hope.Take the time you would put into growing from nothing and concentrate working 2-3 jobs saving every penny by living a frugal life style.

Through our frugal lifestyle and habitual savings we were able to reach our $50,000 goal in less than three years.

Rather than busting your hump and spending money trying to wholesale, which for most is a total failure, concentrate on improving your credit, living frugally to save every penny and spend your time educating yourself on finances, investing, real estate and your local landlord tenant regulations.The best thing you can do is adjust your life style.

I have 4 deals under my belt (with a varying range of success) and have learned lessons from each.I’ve spent the last few years building my family and career and would now like to devote my energy into something that can finance my lifestyle without having to continue working for The Man.  

Lifestyle's unlimited is a REI group based in Houston and they provide an excellent means to navigate the SFR buy and hold through 600+ unit apartment complexes. 

You can not afford your present life style.
