Hey there @David Tang - I actually didn't ever hear of a program that was offering a 12 month stipend...someone I know did it back when it was 6 months and now my understanding was a 3-month stipend with a potential renewal for 3 months.We have wanted to use the Chicago program ASERAP (happy to share their contact info), but fall in line with others regarding employment...the most important thing is income to pay after they move-in because if you get into a sticky situation down the road the upfront rent won't matter.Definitely following this thread to see if anyone has placed migrants and understand what they did for income requirements.

Hey Diran, totally can relate with you being from an expensive real estate market - I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

I tried cleaning it myself, but I did not get the same results the maids did...for $130 I'm probably not going to bother trying to clean again, ever.
