I own a house in another state that I rent out. The money from the rental is enough to cover the mortgage, the loan I had to take out to replace the HVAC, and a little extra in case I need it. I pay the house first and I’m trying to save up enough for 6 months of mortgage payments in case I’m ever tenant-less. So I haven’t made any money off the house yet. The money I make where I’m currently living doesn’t cover all the bills. But by most standards, it looks like I make good money because no one cares I pay rent and a mortgage. That’s why I don’t qualify for assistance.
