I find many of those residents tend to stay for long periods of time because it is so difficult to find properties that will accept their voucher.

To add on, usually verification isn’t difficult.

Blue County = High taxes, pretty simple :)at $300 a month in taxes that’s a cash flow killer, you will need to go to the board next year and request an adjustment if possible, you may get granted but you will need to have a good report presented to the board with comps that are very similar to yours, but again it will be difficult because your property uncapped and it will never go back. 

If you are seen to be using this for investments, then you will find it hard to get another FHA loan, making this method difficult to scale, but good when you are getting started.

prices are high, interest rates are high, there is tremendous demand for inventory by both retail / primary buyers and investors, good contractors are booked up, some materials are still expensive. ' can't we just be honest that (1) if you are in a strong financial position, then yes, RE is still a good investment and ALSO  (2) it's way more difficult than it was in 2016? 

I run many businesses and I admit it is crazy difficult to be there personally for every single client from all the businesses we have.

It sounds like you bring a wealth of experience not just from your career as a realtor but also from your personal moves and investments.

Don’t rely too much on others to guide you ultimately, there will be many voices that tell you how difficult real estate can be, about tenants who flush steaks down the toilet (has happened to me) and evictions in NY.

Many investors balance their primary careers with real estate, and your flexibility with four days off a week is a big advantage.

They have been very difficult to deal with past week.
