@Ben BiggsCollecting downpayment on a stipend or a rent top-up is a form of financing (which may necessitate being licensed) and precisely the type of activity @Bill Gulley cautioned against above.

This makes me sad because the inspection covers the bare necessitates of what constitutes a safe house, and they tell you exactly what is going to be inspected before hand.  

One thing I have been wondering is what are the thresholds the necessitate a clearing? 

Since it sounds like you will be moving around, this is going to necessitate hiring a property manager to oversee your properties.

My health issues are not near as serious as his are thankfully, but they do necessitate I make a change.

But something about these exchanges -- little bullcrap issues that would necessitate super long texts or hysteric phone calls, then trying to solve these little problems with professionals I don't have a good relationship with and couldn't personally manage.

A: Here is some of the backup justification that went into consideration of this decision:-Property taxes and insurance rates increase every year necessitating an increase in rental amounts in order to continue to maintain your home.

In the end, a 15 year loan is cheaper than a 30 year but necessitates higher monthly payments and lower monthly cash flow to meet the shorter term.

I'm happy to give up the 3% that I would have saved being my own agent, and give that to an experienced realtor (especially one who often works with investors), so I can focus on the above.However, I'm aware that this strategy will necessitate hanging my license with a real estate broker, and I assume that this broker will expect their licensees to meet sales targets.

Not to mention the HUGE assumptions:The market doesn't move against you over the years.The currently non viable buyer becomes viable over the next couple of years (this is frequently just not going to happen).The occupant doesn't wreck the property while occupying it, necessitating rehab #2 before it can ultimately be sold to someone else or rented again.I also cringe when I see things like "tenant takes care of the repairs".. because they presume that they'll be owners someday.
