If you were able to build equity over time, it could be smart to sell, pay off your loan, and use the money for another venture (flip, investments, etc) if it is truly bleeding you out.

., get a higher paying job, work two jobs, go to trade school, get a higher paying degree, live in affordable area, etc...these are things that most of us did).

However, aside from that, I couldn’t find much information about them, and the only online presence seems to be the wife’s LinkedIn profile (though I’ve never met her in person and am just going off her profile picture on Zillow).After submitting the application through Zillow, we attached our income (two months of pay stubs for each of us from our current jobs), work references, credit and criminal background, rental history, and the contact info for our current landlord (who just so happens to be my fiancé’s father).

@Aaron Bard- plenty of  lenders  offer  DCSR loans ...contact a  few  for  quotes ...also - dont  pay  any  lenders  at the beginning of the process 

Is their pay consistent?

Thank you for your reply Preston.The idea is to pay off her mortgage by leveraging my cash value life insurance.

My question is if she doesn't pay in 5 days, could I file a forcible entry detainer at the court ( We are in Macoupin County Illinois)?

From what I've seen in this area right now, it seems like you'd have a hard time paying market LTR rents and making a good spread. 

But in general, your biggest risks are not necessarily what's the maximum rent you can get, but can you find a reliable tenant that will always pay and pay on-time.

Hey @Alecia Loveless I applaud your efforts and think it will pay off!
