From responses and personal e-mails, it looks like I can tell him yes-on the right terms, details, docs etc.

Thank you Carolina E!

Thanks Carolina E!

Some stuff I did to get inside and show you care;The grand welcomes,Ceiling fanNew garbage disposalStrip light under cabinetNew light fixture(s)Under sink storage rack screwed in typeUpper shelf in closet or utility areaOther vistsSanded drawer guideCheck cabinet latches and tightenClothes rod holders screwed inTub enclosure adjustments serviceTouch up paintUse wood tone or white marking pen on woodworkTighten door knobsAdd window latches, wax guides3 in 1 on door hingesFix any dripping faucet, shower head-replace the disk in the headSome things I can remember, but there's tons of stuff you can do.Takes less than ten minutes and keeps stuff running smooth.Best of all, it's one on one time and not about the "business" side, always asking where rent is or reminding them to return the trash cart, it's positive LL time, show you care about how well they live in your unit.

Stable income at least 3x's total housing payment?

Out here in the city of the angels (Los Angeles) many renters are former home owners that lost or walked away from their upside down hyperinflated homes.So the credit ratings I have seen look like 10 miles of bad road, and while income is stable at 3x we have had to evolve with the market pressures.So it is now a big picture proposition (how we look at prospective tenants).Hope this 0.02 has helped,Tevis

As a Omahan you'll find the area fairly active in real estate with stable valuations.

Carolina E - Thanks so much!

My job is pretty stable but you never know what can happen and I feel if I purchased an investment property now (while I have the funds to do so) I can be building towards something long term.I would really like to hear from people who have used this technique (bought an investment property that was not owner occupied before buying their first home) just so I can get a little more insight.
