Other investors I know use this to find properties based on zoning and uses allowed:https://www.deepblocks.com/They also have overlay maps of zoning codes/census tracts/demographics like population and income, etc.

If I had given them a loan with payments, it affects the debt to income ratio.

The rentals are a nice way to acquire passive income but I want to turn real estate investing into my full time job.I have been looking into a bunch of areas such as Flips, Wholesaling, Pre-foreclosures etc. 

I do live in a lower-income area that is now up and coming (more job opportunities, more infrastructure being built, local amusement parks, close to city, etc).

Would you accept a tenant for a $2,150/month rent with the following situation:- They own 2 restaurants so it is hard to verify their actual income VS the company.

This way, you can maintain your privacy while still benefiting from rental income.

Believe me, I know about the online gurus, I've been trying to avoid what they market wholesaling to be, that's actually why I came to ask on BP to begin with was to get realistic perspectives, even though it is a grind, I think it is a grind I am willing to make.

For example, states like Texas have no income tax but higher property taxes, which can impact your strategy.

This person probably sites on the internet and thinks they know what they are talking about but again 100% clueless.Rental Pricing Regulations 99% of the time HUD pays MORE than cash.in OH anyway.Risk of Renting in Lower Income Areas SEC 8 prop can be anywhere, NOT just low income, I have props in the best areas in Cleveland.

This payment will leave me with about $600,000 in W-2 income for 2024.
