Just food for thought on that. 

If you had the ability to pay off your home and only have normal operational bills (utilities, insurance, food, gasoline, etc.) would you do it?

In the end there is only a $100-$200 difference between the two.I'd also get on this sooner rather than later, this is one of the things tenants freak out about because unless your PM gave them a temporary one to use they are losing food they bought. 

I am 18 with a part time job at a fast food restaurant and want to get into the business of real estate.

The kid had to get the food from somewhere and if the kid is 11, I'll be there is jelly on their clothes (and jelly missing from her fridge).

Rent, food, food, soap, (scratch that.. who am I kidding I don't shower), rent.

FHA buyers would require the house to be livable upon the sale date...which means at least a stove to cook food. 

I save/invest roughly 70% of my income because I still live my parents so I am fortunate enough to not have to worry about living expenses like paying rent and food.

Just my opinion but food for thought for all to chew on.

So I sat them down and said if you want to say there you're going to have to be more than just bums, you must at the minimal pick up your own mess, clean our own utensils and bowl and anything you use must be asked before usage, keep the absurdly loud obnoxious arguments to a minimum and continue contacting family members to help them, but most importantly you MUST have a job by the end of August, 2019 so that you can pay rent and get your food stamps cause I can not afford to feed the 2 people.
