Where the difference between mortgage and rent is almost practically nothing due to the fact that we will be engaging a property manager and now we re at a cross road if to sell though most likely texas will be our retirement city eventually.

I’ve gotten to where we have multiple doors at the same monthly rate so I need to transistion into an app to help me manage and identify who paid rent.I have a few tenants that are “technically challenged” and I’m anticipating some challenges with getting them on board to use a payment app.Any suggestions for the simplest rental payment apps (from a tenant perspective)?

I would challenge that you can really sustain $150K a year consistently without a few years of actual records. 

Great on you for thinking about this so young.In the right situation, you could do well in a no money down scenario, but typically to invest without any of your own dollars involved, you're going to borrow from a private lender at a higher rate than normal, and they would only lend to you with a high income / collateral so you already have to have money or high net worth.I"m guessing like most students, you don't have a high paying job or a large amount of cash saved so that would be your first challenge to overcome in your journey.

I'm in San Jose working with a youth corps programs that is starting to do Tiny Home construction and we are reviewing all the regs etc for California -- the hope/goal is to make quality homes to service our homeless population then the community then eventually FEMA etc...These will be on trailers - Our approach will be to approach members in the community who would like to have the extra rental income by having on elf these on their property -- no doubt there's a lot of hurdles ahead of us but we have a record of building/construction - the challenge will be the market and regulations  which I guess always is the case....

if you purchase with an unsecured Line of Credit it will cause some challenges with a traditional refinance. 

I think a lot of people are simply not equipped to think of themselves as anything other than a success in life, and anything that challenges that assumption or the external appearance of it is to be avoided at all cost.In the end, this is what vanity does to people, it turns them into fragile things unable to grapple with the crippling fear of being revealed to the world but also to themselves as less than perfect, as most definitely NOT good enough, as "losers" and "failures" and "second-raters" and all the words the most vain among us use for those they think they're a million times better than.Being able to laugh at yourself and your pretensions is a gift and a great liberation of the spirit.

@Brian CoffmanIRA owners must make sure they do not engage in prohibited transactions when investing their IRA assets in real estate. 

Anyone have a CPA or professional they have used to challenge this type of action?
