Our government is effectively making the most stable investment in the world a pure gamble without. 

I haven't had a job in 3 years - that's cash flow.I sell a house here and there - that's gift.CA is one of few places where gambling works.  

I am very familiar with this part of the east valley and would be happy to facetime with you and show you the area or just send you private videos to preview at your convenience. 

Regarding the other side living for free for life, that is a huge gamble.

We absolutely love it so far as we are true city people and enjoy having many of these conveniences near us in walking distance and also frequent Hoboken, JC, and Manhattan on a regular basis.I would love to here your opinions on this neighborhood over a 5-7 year horizon (likely time frame where we would sell and move) from an investment perspective.

If they like the property then they will be the one who needs to contact the Section 8 office locally and help arrange a time for the inspection to take place at a time that is convenient for you, the inspector and the prospective tenant.

The duplex also included a commercial lot adjacent to a convenience store.

Anything you do without all of this would be called gambling

That was not something I wanted to gamble with. 

I have a paid account on Avail with unlimited leases and lease cloning (which is a very convenient feature).
