Section 8 will ACH monthly rent payments to the landlord's bank account. 

Someone already mentioned Saskatchewan, there are places in Alberta (Lethbridge, Red Deer, Medicine Hat) which are a decent size. 

Money order, ACH, they deposit cash in your bank etc....you don't want it in a way that takes  you days to realize it has bounced.  

Also, he said he has something in the lease written that says any minor repair needed for $25 or less, it is to be covered by the tenant, which saves them a handful of head aches.  

I mean maybe she's aching to get out... but I don't know. 

Please understand that law is like medicine, there are no guarantees.  

You need to amass a large portfolio for it to be passive (aka hiring someone to manage).If you want to be financially independent as fast as you can then you need to do a few things. 1) get as high of an income as possible (this usually takes schooling and/or experience, think high income profession - law, medicine,etc)2) live as frugally as possible (you will sacrifice a lot here, think of not going out with friends, live at home/save on rent, etc)3) invest as much as possible and I mean invest not yoloing on random hot tips (you are starting young, time will be on your side)If you do this consistently and remain highly disciplined, you will get there faster than most.

She says "that's my thing " I tried to make it "our thing"Don't force her, Real Estate is not for everyone thank goodness it's not or competition would be worst in my market lolThe same passion I have for Real Estate she has for medicine, I started to look at the bright side at least I will always have someone to take care of me if I'm ever sick.Don't force it, did anyone forced you to consider REI?

Based on all your advice, I'm planning to create an amendment with owner change with ACH details and new software I'm planning to use to manage everything.

I am well aware of the head aches and problems but have also seen the payoff.
