At this point I am just as interested in the social aspect (time spent/headaches) of being a landlord and how it will mesh with my day job.

I would also send a letter in the mail, and possibly check some social media websites to see if you can track them down.

Most of the conventional lenders that I am talking with require at least 20 percent down and I can only have 10 mortgages against my social security number.

Be sure to check the BiggerPockets Blog daily and follow BP on Facebook, Twitter, G+, LinkedIn, or whatever other social network you have!

Got one pm from Stephen in Mission Viejo that's on board.

I encourage all landlords to research their applicants in the court records in the location where the applicant lives, as well as on google and social media sites.

You can't discriminate against the source of income with respect to government assisstance, social security, section 8, welfare or disability income, you can discriminate concerning the likelyhood of receiving income, say child support for a 20 year old student if income ceases in a few months at 21.

(total cost of remodel 3k)Her income from her daily job (active income) is 37k annually.I have no income - disabled, and my social security hearing isn't until 2014.

How messed up is a society where social welfare is deemed horrendous and a terrible thing, yet corporate welfare is seen as okay and a good thing we should strive for (tax breaks, subsidies, etc).

I think one of the best ways to track the success ROI can be by marketing channels such as social media, e-mail marketing, and advertising.
