Depending on one's other sources of income that can be a substantial hurdle.

While it is awesome that I have very good credit, any lender looking into it will see that it is from a single source where I am not every the primary account holder. 

For high-end properties, it can be extremely effective because they source international buyers who will buy based on their high-end videos and marketing campaigns.

So I am reading what Account Closed posted and IF I am understanding correctly, when I start taking SSI and say I had 30K of rental income that showed as a 'tax loss' due to depreciation etc... and I took another 30K from my ROTH IRA, NEITHER of those sources of income would count towards making SSI partially taxable?

I am also learning about lots of other sources of capital, from 0%APR credit cards, to borrowing against my Govt Thrift Savings Plan.  

I can source my own deals if need be and I hold a license in Maryland acquired for this purpose in mind initially.

We need to find a solution from a different source than institutional lenders.  

They get the same questions and have a range of different funding sources. 

I am happy to recommend more books and sources of education plus answer any questions you might have along the way.

If he stays, be sure you stick to your guns, and then take a good look at the situation when his lease comes up for renewal.I would also take some time to tighten up your lease provisions a bit if that is also a source of the confusion.
