This is the "second" income generating stream on a property.

[A little something for the blood pressure of @Matt Geerts and @Greg S.]Another of Toronto's finest tenants, but al least this fellow has a little style.

See: Wells Fargo and their constant stream of cartoonish schemes while they still continue to be massively profitable.

In this case it did not matter if she had a custodial account or an IRA LLC this guy was out for blood.

Or you could require the tenant to mow, possibly lowering the rental income stream if you have to knock a few buck off the monthly rent as an inducement.Is this the same as if you hired an investment advisorr to monitor your IRA stock and mutual fund investments and make periodic tweaks?

If you put out a good product and word goes around (as it does in small towns) that you're an A+ operator, I think you could have a reliable stream of renters.Seems like the key would be to choose a small town with multiple employers and/or in the path of progress.

It's easier to swim up stream, aim higher and allow the current to work for you and carry you to your mark. :)

They maybe have a college degree (or not), they like to show up at 8 AM (or 8:05, or 8:10), grab a cup of coffee, swap stories at the water cooler, take an hour lunch (or 1 hour & 15 minutes) while they read a novel or play video games or stream the latest episode of GOT, and clock out at 5 PM (or 4:55), go home and that's their career. 

However, it will never be my recommendation to try and rent a property in opposition to city code, in which you're relying on that income stream to support the business.

It can also provide a steady income stream from interest payments, potentially resulting in a higher sale price.However, there are also risks associated with seller financing, such as the buyer defaulting on payments (if the seller still has a mortgage) or property value fluctuations.
