Landlords go through a lot. When my folks house gets auctioned off, we'll be living with my older daughter. I'm hoping to find a HUD home, because I don't have any rental history, no credit, and at the moment am just receiving child support and alimony. No one is going to rent to us. Well yeah, someone will, but I don't want my kids living in Adelanto. Seriously, I've seen what some people can do to an apartment or house. I was hoping to buy vacant land. Someday I will.
Look for a spot through your church or the local Catholic church. I've found two good tenants that way, perhaps the reverse will work for you.
