In our case adult female children had a tendency to pop out offspring as if they were a PEZ dispenser, often producing a child with every man they casually dated, then dropping off the children at "grandma and grandpa" to raise."

When most people find out that there is a $39.99 fee through cozy per adult, they think twice and I don’t hear from them again.

It's borderline criminal what the government does to push college and student loans onto young adults when they get out of high school.

My 6 years old son knows electric cars pollute less than a gas car, I can't believe full grown adults can't believe that. 

It is at a cost of $40 per adult tenant.For Tenant, if they are interested in signing a lease:1.Fill out preliminary hard copy application.2.Verify application for 3 times monthly rent income (call employer), pay stubs, no felony, no evictions, at least 1 year on job.3.Query in State Courts Online system.4.Query Facebook, searching for anything “negative”. 5.Query County Assessor website that they live in, looking for homes owned/foreclsoures in process. 6.Contact prior landlords (last two if possible).7.If applicant passes preliminary screening, send online application ($40 fee) via website MySmartMove.com.8.Review screening for 600+ credit score (B class property), on time payments, debt to income, eviction and criminal history.For Prior Landlord(s):1.How long were they tenants at address?

Also, total # of occupants could potentially be more than legally warranted for the unit (i.e. couple with four kids in a 2BR 700 sq ft unit).If someone has an adult caregiver, you'd want to do a background check on that person too (ideally have them on the lease).My original paper application asked to list all occupants, and also stated that all occupants over 18 had to submit an application.

It all comes to screening the adults you are putting in your homes.

Those skills are vital to your success as an adult- even if you think you have those skills, trust me, you don't.

This is not passive investment for me.While I still work in what I used to teach in, adult ESL, I have mostly traded in one dead-end poorly-paid job, teaching, for a much better-paid one, rehabbing property acquisitions into rentals (which I spend a lot of time on), and managing rentals, EXACTLY as @Jay Hinrichs said, EXACTLY as I said in my first post in this thread.As @Randy E. pointed out, I too usually spend less than an hour per rental per month on average managing them.

In 2013 I moved out to move to a new city to become a firefighter and that's when I really understood what I had accomplished and the ramifications it would have on my future as I discovered frugality and Bigger Pockets around the same time and learned how to be a young adult.
