Normally they require a certain period of years for anything that isn't regular W-2 income because the period of years demonstrates stability/reliability.For example, I knew someone in the food service industry working part time and for tips.

Usually free food and free drinks.

On top of that, aside from right now, it's warmer there and there's a lot of great food and things to do outside.

I did some Section 8 and it honestly galls the hell out of me that a tenant can get a free place to live, free utilities, free food and the opportunity to only have to work the baby maker to get more.

Currently, I am living in a hotel at a cost of $75 a night AND paying storage at $250 a month, meaning my current living expenses are $2500 before higher food costs.Long story short:3/2 - $29001/1 - $2250

I have no expenses besides maybe gas and food, and will not until i graduate.

After I had been buying rental property for about 5 years - and about the time I had moved most of my properties to solid blue collar neighborhoods, I was able to resign from my 9-5 career - However, the income I was able to create only accounted part of the equation that allowed me to leave a very good career with a great income and incredible benefits - The main reason I was able to walk away from a great job was because I had reduced my personal monthly expenses to a manageable monthly obligation - I lived well below my means and invested every penny that I could save over those 5 years.Leaving the 9-5 allowed me the freedom to focus 100% on real estate and not worry if the electric bill would get paid and if there would be food on the table - we continued to acquire additional properties and we flip several houses a year - but most importantly, I spend every second of my valuable time doing whatever I want to do -It just so happens that one thing I love spending my time doing (real estate) also creates amazing wealth building opportunities.Good Luck and Happy Investing,jeff

The jobs I would be targeting are management consulting and general management jobs in the food industry.

My next bit of advice to not have carpet whatsoever because tenants will generally not take great care of it (dropping food, wine, coffee etc. on it).

Is there a whole foods nearby or within close driving distance.
