With the rising number of rental household and decreasing home ownership, what happens when government regulation starts to clamp down on real estate as a revenue source?

I've been interested in the bigger deals since I started learning and researching REI as I'd like to have a more passive portfolio that will replace and enhance my household income within the next 9 years.

I don’t think she would ever be alright with not contributing to the household in a financial way.

When you see the numbers broken down to normal household level numbers for comparison, it is even scarier.  

Section 8 properties can be lucrative for a stable income, particularly in areas with a high concentration of low-income households.

I am trying to position myself better financially, by paying off as much credit card debt as possible and trying to pay my students, and keep with the household expenses.

I learned that this is one of the best ways to start out in real estate, and I do not mind having roommates at all.. in fact I am very use to living in crowded households.

I agree with much of what you said Scott, although I would add something to this line : “El Dorado county (El Dorado Hills to Tahoe) is pretty rural and the incomes don’t justify the housing prices and it’ll be tough to get 1% rules there.”El Dorado Hills, adjacent to the eastern edge of Sacramento County has a 2016 US Census median household income of $125,489.

(c) A "Qualified Tenant Household" is any household that includes at least one Tenant that is a Senior Citizen, Disabled, or has at least one minor dependent child as defined in R.M.C. 11.102.020(a) and (l).

A blue collar job like a foreman will always find work in any economy, so I wouldn't worry that it is a single income household.
