At today's rents that's decade(s) of net rental income even when taking into account any potential increases.Rents however would get $3k/mo on the high end, and more realistically around $2.6k/mo.

I highly recommend (1) checking Google reviews and (2) asking for DATA to back advertised claims (ex: average turnaround time to close a work order, average tenant satisfaction score, etc.). 

definitely go with 50-60 . some lenders want to see as high as 65%

All three houses cashflow and she is not interested in selling at all as this is her retirement plan and main source of income, however due to excess cc debt, a high DTI, low credit score and lack of financing options, she is extremely cash poor. she is at the point where she could and I think should declare bankruptcy on those cc's, and move the houses out of her name. in order to get financing, all houses need to be in LLCs, which they aren't.in order to kill a couple birds with one stone, my mind goes straight to 1.

I highly recommend you purchase "Every Landlord's Legal Guide - California Edition" by NOLO.

the issue right now is that with both prices and rates high, it is very, very tough to have cash flow unless you're employing some kind of creative and/or hands-on and/or value-add strategy, or combination of strategies. 

Most of the houses are highly priced.
