With roommate situations you are allowed to be much more subjective with your tenant criteria because they are applying to live in your house and they should meet your normal criteria, but also need to be compatible with your lifestyle.

I love the lifestyle and look forward to moving to our floating home each year.You might want to rent an RV and spend a month living in it before you make a purchase decision just to see if the lifestyle is for you.

I do have the required reserves and I live a frugal lifestyle so I'm not super worried as my income can support my mortgage.

If it's an issue affecting a tenant 'life-style' change (i.e. appliance, plumbing issues, etc.) be sympathetic and show that you're on it. 

We are sitting on months of resources available to us thanks to our frugal lifestyle, multiple income streams, diversified investments, and shared commitment not to be victims constantly hoping for luck, Providence, or a deus ex machina to save us from the perils of a broken world.

You have to have cash flow in each deal in order to weather the storms that will always be on the horizon.Build a real estate investing strategy that fits your needs, lifestyle, and long term goals, and leverage the advice/suggestions by the best that are out there.  

California and the nation as a whole are very diverse areas of thought and lifestyle.

I would not want to be an owner of lifestyle centers.

In those suburban communities, HOAs are more readily part of the lifestyle.

What a low quality of lifestyle to be running to property every time a contractor needs in.
