Also, just a thought, if you're ever considering expanding your search, Oklahoma is another great market for Section 8 rentals that can cash flow well.

It seems hard to wrap my head around paying this premium for a passive service, but I do not have any real world experiences to shape my opinion so I am keeping my options open, especially as I expand.
