However I would never, never, NEVER have given a prospective landlord/PM my social security number or tax returns just for a showing. 

People love the idea of other people being responsible for their financial well being here in Seattle #socialism 🤣

There are several reasons: ever increasing sky high tuition costs, jobs that don't require a college degree (coding, social media influencer, YouTubers, trade jobs) that are paying high salaries without the student loan debt, smaller families (parents having 1-2 kids instead of 2-3 kids).There are studies out there projecting the demise of large percentages of colleges and universities across the country in the coming decade.Anyway, food for thought.

The case worker tells me her landlords often allow move-in based on the letter alone, but, it's new to me, so I'm wary and cautious.LSS= Lutheran Social Services Network of Care.Thank you!!

If  a Realtor advertises a property to the general public via social media, flyers or some other public way including putting a sign in the yard, that property MUST be listed in the MLS within 1 business day. 

What a about social security or disability income?

I've seen Milwaukee folks boast anywhere from 20% to "infinity" COC returns, but those are the same folks that don't factor in Cap-Ex and tend to be social media all-stars.  

And if this truly Uncle G, welcome to the Real Real Estate Social Media :)

You can also use social media to look for anything that might make you think they wouldnt be a good fit as a roommate.

I am also invested in student rentals and unless these large universities go up in flames the social economic situation is very low risk.
