Furthermore once a lender has your personal guarantee regardless of the number of payments you have made successfully, they would be less secure in the deal without your personal promise to pay the debt.

Even though they will be paying the rent using AFTER tax money, they will benefit from the fact that they are paying themselves (via the IRA), granted the money will be taxed a 2nd time when they retire and get distributions from the IRA.

Remember that the Social Security portion is capped at $110,100 of earnings.

When you or whoever purchases the property it will be calculated in and must be paid in order to secure a clear title of course.

I guess that's just the type of "hustle" I have to put in initially, then send out mailers once I secure some listings.
