I agree with you about wanting to help people first, like Earl Nightingale said: “your rewards in life are in direct proportion to the service you render” and the money may not all come from those you serve.

@Kevin BBest advice: Call the city's code enforcement:https://www.chandleraz.gov/residents/neighborhood-resources/neighborhood-services/code-enforcementJust say that you had a "family" or group of friends apply to lease your home, but they all seem to be unrelated.

(My wife and I do come up once a month to help out at Camp Geiger at the protestant services both out in the field and at the small white chapel on base)

A few more seasoned investors have told me, perhaps controversially, that most cities place such onerous zoning restrictions and are completely inactive in aiding affordable house because lower income and lower-mid income residents are such a net loss to the cities, i.e. little tax revenue and big consumers of city services.

Im in a similar situation with a municipality, but if you are able to cover health insurance through the service, that makes the transition out of the traditional W-2 much more feasible and also covers all of your bases.  

You would be surprised how many people would be willing to help you achieve your goals.

I like IRA Services Trust Company.

I'm in my 3rd year of doing it like this and my properties are still using way less than the 10% because almost everything is new when I put them in service. 

Don't bid right away, ask negative questions about the property's lack of services, and make your house look like complete trash on the outside.

Great service and even better pricing.
