Good Day Ashley,Please reflect on calling Guild Mortgage, ask for Jarrett Rodgers ...

Not only can he find NNN props within your parameters nationwide, he can also hook you up with lenders who may assist you.

My question is is there a way to show a potential lender that in fact my fiancé does pay half so my debt to income ratio reflects reality?

Most cities will alllow water billing if you can prove you have proper metering setup, so tenants are actually charged per usage.Pretty sure companies offering submetering will be able to assist with the legalities and they are cheaper than paying city for another meter.

For idea 1, one of the more in-demand areas of help emerging RE agents need is administrative assistants. 

And you do have the sticky situation of explaining why you went month-to-month from the get-go.I recommend you research the renters' assistance programs in your area and help them get on these plans, while keeping them a long term tenant.

There are many explanations as to why the place is half empty, but the price you pay should reflect current state, not future state.

If you don't plan on being an active agent you may consider becoming an unlicensed assistant.

I know I am not your typical brokerage owner but that is what I did to assist my beginner agents.. and if they botched a deal I would just step in.. 

@Victor MenezesThere are two ways to look at it:1) From the investor standpoint, it seems like the agent is doing the bare minimum and going about their business, not really caring about your investing needs.2) From the realtor perspective, working with/for someone they do not know, has never closed a deal, and spending time analyzing properties on their behalf is more likely to end up as time wasted, so minimum effort is given until that investor proves themself.I personally don't feel that it's the realtor's job to analyze deals/do the homework for the investor, although I will assist in double-checking the numbers on a property that my client is interested in.
