Are there good sources for figuring out whether a neighborhood's tenant base is comprised mostly of people paying their own rent or of people whose rent is being paid by assistance programs?

The market ranges from A to C- areas and is comprised of mostly single-family to four-plex properties.Price points are much lower than on the east or west coasts, however, rents are proportionally much higher, leading to positive cash-flow.

I did a few house hacks and then got pushed out of my market due to prices increasing rapidly and comprising the returns that I want to get for an investment property.  

because that is what I personally feel is a generous amount of time when the majority of the property managers want you out in 30 days 'or you will be evicted'.I know you are just on your soap box and I don't want to turn this thread into a battle of how to manage properties.

A reasonable California (Bay Area or SoCal) goal post to see is if your "slice" of that PITI after collecting rent and paying expenses is more, or less, than what you would otherwise pay in rent for a comparable living situation.For example: Renting a 3/2 in that neighborhood is $2500/mo.Or you own a duplex comprised of a pair of 3/2s, and the PITI is $4000/mo plus $350/mo in maintenance (some months you will have zero maintenance, other months you're replacing a water heater, this is a super rough long term average number, adjust accordingly if it's a 100 year old home instead of a 25 year old home, etc).

It’s comprised of two Detached buildings: 3bd 2ba front unit and a two story 2bd 1ba in the rear with three individual garages on the first floor and alley access.It’s a great set up as our home feels like a single family lot and with it being 10 blocks from the ocean in San Diego area, I will have multiple options on what to do with the property after my year living there.I recently spoke with the city about taking two of the three garages and building a 550 sq ft, 1bd 1ba downstairs unit.

In an office building, i'm a owner of a group of owners which comprise the tenant/firm.
