If I had a good tenant and they continue to be a good tenant, I don't care where they legally get their money from.I agree that most S8 do not meet my criteria even without considering the source of the income.However, we have another policy that also works against S8.  

I would start with either an agent who is focusing on investors, or even someone out of State.

It's not just the taxes, but being able to at-a-glance look at expenses by the month and year, profit and loss calculating automatically, and even cash flow by property and total portfolio by month and year.Thanks for suggesting it!

I'm happy to rent in a C-class area, even though it can take some work to stabilize a property.

In this case, you would draft an operating agreement that specifies each partner's role—your friend providing the cash and you handling the rehab and management—and that profits and ownership are split evenly.

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

It even helps with finding contractors as you can show them what quality you expect and they in turn can show you what they can do.Will it help you sell more or get more money? 

My land flippers even more so..

The people with single rooms even paid a bit more.

It does not take that many hours to look at a property, sign a contract or even manage tenants.If you are bored in your 9-5 it's time to move on to a job where you learn and get challenged so you can grow.
