Neighborhoods change and your right, tenants with Section 8 prefer the newer, nicer properties or to move out the the city into the surrounding counties.  

@Jesi Young I like the tone of your post.

@Joshua MartinSince you might sell next year, a HELOC is probably the better short-term option—lower upfront costs and flexibility to pay it off when you sell.

I'd feel comfortable investing ~$50k to start off.

I do not personally use him based soley on the fact that the firm is virtual.

Of course, it's for a limited time only, then they are going to "shut off the Gator Method" for about a year. 

My two year at the time old grab the edge to help stand up from the seated position on the floor and the glass stop slid off and almost caused severe harm. 

See the problem?

But it is a heck of a lot of incentive to do whats BEST in interest of a Landlord, which is getting high quality tenant with low occurrence of issues that operates on cruise control of consistency and quality care of property, for a duration. % based, it's just about getting bodies in and keeping them in, and that's done by taking the first most desperate trash off the street who says they'll pay. 

When I go to events like this, I do go to some of the sessions, but most of my time is just sitting in the lobby chatting with people.
