After 2 years of Schedule E's on my taxes, I got a conventional loan.

@Sebastian E.

After you have a year landlord on taxes (ie sched E) then you can start counting some rents.

Lots of decent houses that would probably rent for $500-800 - most of the nicer single families are in the middle to northern and western quadrant but E of the RR tracks.The WWii housing are the neighborhoods known as Hilltop (pocket near Lincoln/Oliver) and Plainview - Plainview has a mini pocket of Asian Immigrants where the houses are nice (relatively speaking) and picked up and insides (of the one's Ive seen) were decent - think they were Thai or Cantonese - can't remember - had to meet with a few folks for for former ins job there - Plainview I would never invest in - but that's me. 

On another note, my turbo tax e file was rejected and I don't understand why!

Although we had e-mail exchanges about his situation (he said he is trying and that he has some kind of job working from home), I have not officially sent him a 10-day notice but I am considering doing it this week.
