My cousin's POV was MTM would be 3-day notice to pay/quit as opposed to chasing after 1-year lessor for defaulting.MTM tenant would not need to worry about rental increase as it is regulated on annual basis in California capped at 10%.

We also see that the SECT 8 typically pay higher than our market rents in many cases in the lower income areas of town. 

They pay the realtor 300 bucks a month to oversee their property. 

So my counter-offer was that I would pay them a small down payment, and have a contract saying that I must pay them in full within 18 months.

Then I ask the CPA could I pay my kids to set up a rental website just like we pay a plumber to fix a toilet?

We typically pay $2,500.

Even if you owe tax that you cannot pay today, you should still file to avoid a 5% penalty per month for failure to file.

Since you are just graduating college you may already realize that it's not what you know, but who you know (as a personal note, I had college friends that were barely passing their classes however they ended up with really good paying jobs due to "who they knew").

I like the idea of starting small, paying a bit more on the higher end within an area that has good projected growth (Columbus, OH as an example).2.

Any other ideas to help not pay a mortgage and rent for 3 months?
