Or I do like the suggestion above of a co-work meeting space, assuming it is a bigger urban area that would be a solid potential income stream. 

Hi Trevor, the main question is going to be how close is the new construction to a urban/suburban area? 

I've had Section 8 tenants that were great for 3-4 years before trashing the place, stealing appliances, not paying rent, and eventually abandoning the property with over $10,000 in damages.On a personal note, it chaps my hide that we have people in society that live off the backs of taxpayers for decades.

And yeah, the melt-down of our society does matter when were trying to convince the planet to use our USD as world reserve, it does matter that the society backing it is a dumpster fire, that = volatility. 

Concealed-carry is far wiser than open-carry in our society.

Every property of interest must be evaluated based on current and future performance.Current ConsiderationsTime to rentRenovation Cost & RiskInitial ROI and cash flowPurchase PriceMaintenance costAcceptable area rental restrictionsIn an area that is doing well and likely to do better in the future.In the migration path of urban sprawl.Future ConsiderationsThe location has a track record of appreciation and rent increases.It physically matches the expected demographic changes for the foreseeable future.Buy what your “customer” wants to rent, not what you think is a good property.

We can teach them how to live in a house the right way and help them with the bumpy road of turning into a functioning member of society. 😆  That's right Dave, lots of good life lessons for everybody!

Our population will continue to grow in urban centers, but we will experience greater suburban sprawl leading to increased inventory.
