As long as your gross rent covers your expenses and you have some cashflow, then you are good to go. things you should do is to have your finances in order.

@Alec Frasier Also, most title companies should report gross proceeds, so make sure your accountant sees the credit and adjust so your not paying capital gains on that 5k.

Its not uncommon to gross 100k on a good Vrbo.Most of us, I beleive, are acquiring more not selling.

You can always show bank statments for qualifications where the bank/lender will use your gross deposits as income. 

I was making okay money, probably about $2,600 before gross.

If you are saving $2500 in rent and you rent the other side out for $2500 then your gross income would be $5000.

Based on AirDNA and other sources my estimate is that House 2 could gross ~$1100/mo from AirBNB.  

I seem to hear a lot that 10% of gross rent is a safe assumption, but if there is limited competition, I want to make sure that's still a reasonable estimate here.
