Not every state or city mandates that any landlord has to accept Section 8, because the landlord has to not only subject their property to Section 8 inspections, rules and regulations, they also often have to separately arrange for the tenant to pay the non-covered part of the rent and can face difficulty evicting just based on that.

Asking in the correct forum will get a better response.Read the RULES!

Oh, forgot to mention, this was prior to self rent rules. 

FHA does not have this rule. 

Note that FHA can be a great option at 3.5% down but don't rule out the 5% down conventional option either. 

I did not read the rules around security deposits. you may be allowed to use those funds and still file a small claims action for any remainder, but I can't imagine that it would be worth it if you have at least one month's rent in security deposit. 

That rule says that if you live in your Home for 2 out of 5 years, you can sell it for up to $250,000 Tax-free.

At this price point you'll never hit the 1% rule.

Make sure the property meets the 1% rule or close to it (monthly rents = 1% of purchase price) to ensure it cash flows after you move out.Yes, interets rates are higher than they were a couple of years ago, but rents have also increased significantly in many markets, including yours.

Flat fee buyer agency is new but growing quickly since the August 2024 agent compensation rule changes/lawsuit settlement.
