If I get multiple apps I will start with the ones that appear to be the best qualified on paper (based on income, length of lease desired, past rental and employment history) and I'll run those first.  

For 27 yrs i was a stay at home Mom and house wife with no income for the next 23 yrs. 

Any ideas how much single family houses in Butler beach can rent for in terms of gross income in a year? 

I always run my STRs with LTR rents also, as my back up plan if cities change permits or cause me to switch to LTR Thank you for your response,There are some areas that still have new homes for low $300s I figure with a good down payment I can get a bit of cash flow, I know I won’t get rich overnight but when rates go down I can refinance and hopefully in the future I will be in the position to buy some distressed properties and repair them, maximizing future income. 

I sure like the idea of having lines of credit, and using to sweep income from our rentals into the line.  

@Jeff Anderson,Income from lending (points and interest) inside of a Roth IRA is not taxable. 

I can't do anything to my rental to increase efficiencies in creating more income until it is vacant or the market decides I can.Businesses will require workers, that require leading, and that requires more patience and more hard decisions/conversations to make.

@Rachel Waldorf How do you live with 0 income?

It's understandable to have reservations, but don't let excuses hinder your potential for passive income and wealth growth!

Appreciation, passive income and somewhere to invest some cash I came into.
