Quote from @Steven Hervey: Hey everyone,We are renting our first property and were approached today about renting it out as a palliative adult care home. 

I'm a college student and my business class partner thinks AI real estate videos are the future. 

If you’re open, I’d enjoy hopping on a call or video chat to learn more about how you’re scaling this in Chicagoland / vicinity.

They may charge you (at your age, I would not suggest paying for a mentor), or they may expect you to work for them for little or no money...if they expect you to work for them, they usually will want you to bring some proven experience and skills to the table that will benefit them--but at 19, most people don't have much experience to offer (that's not your fault, it's just an inherent part of being a young adult)....but don't worry, because even if you could find a mentor right now, a mentor might not even be the best use of your time at this stage...In some cases, a mentor might actually get in the way of your success (especially if your mentor isn't well-matched to your style, interests, goals, etc).

You know when I started looking at the videos and seeing success stories.

My adult children have 9 properties now ~ they advise me to buy a few rentals to provide eventual income supplementation after I retire. ( Who wants to be the retiree wiping tables at McDonald's ?

It would be nice if it was legit because my city has a 3 unrelated adult limit.

My kids are transitioning to adults, I need to find a new place to live and will probably house hack in some way. 

Even though the nurse is already vetted through their agency, I still run standard checks on any adult who will be living in the home—mainly a background check for safety and basic income verification if they’ll be contributing.If the nurse’s contract alone easily meets the income requirement, I don’t stress too much about the spouse’s finances, but I still verify who they are since they’ll be occupying the property.

But the spouse/partner isn’t screened by anyone, and that is where most landlords get burned.Here’s how most experienced MTR owners handle it, and what I’ve seen work best:Screen them as a household, not just the nurse.If two adults are living in your property, they’re both legally responsible for rent and for whatever happens inside the unit.
