There is an upper limit ( I don't know what that is) as there would be with any "insurance" type of program. 

There's a lot of movement by a handful of Federal regulating bodies that are pushing to provide honesty and transparency up front for consumers.

A handy search bar in the upper right makes it easy to find previous discussions, blogs, podcasts, and other resources.

To note, it seems the only zip codes where the big rent disparities exist is middle and upper class neighborhoods (this makes me think HUD is trying to incentivize section 8 in better neighborhoods/school districts).

I grew up on the northside, mom still lives there, and it's def a good area for middle-upper class families.

With cash in hand, this strategy can provide an unprecedented upper hand at the negotiation table.All the best!

Hi Alex,Thanks for the mention.Unfortunately, investors sometimes expect providers to subsidize all loss of income incurred on a property which isn't feasible.We do our best to minimize costs and in many instances "eat a cost" that we shouldn't.Can't control "acts of God" or the weather/other people lolAs we all should know, there are ups and down's with real estate investing.Business is easy and people make it difficult as the saying goes.Our PM never just throws "a body" into a property just to call it "tenanted"Why?

Largely to avoid the PM from throwing the first warm body in that fills out an app and you're stuff with a bozo.

After being laid off back in Oct 2023 from Upper Management change (New COO) that let my General Manager and then myself go 40ish days later.

If you want a decent SFR , you're talking $300K-$350K; based on rents/taxes and the likes you may eek out a 2% ROI; don't expect much appreciation the next 5 years if any;  it's appreciated to the point where it's not affordable to the middle/ upper middle income classes in the  midwest... whether to buy or rent..
