If you wanted to be in the USA and therefore wanted a USD income, you could consider employing yourselves.

And boasts 24/7 answering service.Anyone have any other companies that sell custom sized windows for DIYer/ contractors? 

I should add that my impression is that rental income would be like self-employed income and not included in the DTI calculation.

@John KesnerAlso make sure one of the bedrooms meets the market for size of a 1br.

I'd be interested to know if they're putting in condos and/or apartments, and if so, how many, what size, what price range, etc.Thanks in advance for any info!

I would look for fixed interest under 10% but preferably under 6% and a purchase price no more than similar houses in the neighborhood on the MLS (you could look on zillow or realtor at properties nearby similar size/condition).  

Hopefully I can one day become self employed and make REI my main source of income. 

Currently in the market for a software that can handle a few small properties and expanding into a full size property management company. 

Depending on the size, crowdfunding? 

And if you add in other major mechanical things...it might run up to $10k...also on the lower rent range you will need to have a higher percentage because while a roof's cost will vary by the size and class of the property...things like heat and air and water heater and appliances are relatively fixed therefore being a larger percentage of your rent.
