Although I know most sec 8 landlords use it because of the perception of guaranteed rents.As a small home builder I really dont know how they are going to lower the cost of new construction housing unless the govmit subsidizes it somehow.. basically the price of home components are very sticky they only go up. with the xception of lumber that will go  up and down through out the year..

As the cash flow is obviously much worse than you can earn in the bank with a basic CD.

I've seen other people in the forum who simply use independent savings accounts but it is not clear to me if that is legal.

The cost breakout seems very helpful too I think that will help a lot of people.

I'm sure a lot of other people would in this group as well! 

I became a real estate agent for the exact reason of helping people, like you, find good deals and get into their next investment property.
