2) Subsidizing rents:- S8 and other programs statisitically only train tenants how to be dependent on the free handouts.If you really want to make a difference, try basic financial education for tenants and the financial demographic they come from!

What I take some issue with is the techniques that guru's use to up sell and so on .. and they do nothing to qualify if the person paying them if the program does not work they are now into debt to the eyeballs and so on but then again who are we to say at some point.. think of  Hewlet and Packard they went into 15k worth of debt to start HP in late 40s or early 50s and that was a ton of money then :)

Each option has different implications, so choose based on your financial goals.

While I’m still in the early stages, I’m incredibly motivated to learn, grow, and surround myself with like-minded individuals who can help guide me along the way.What drew me to real estate is that I saw it as the best route for me and family to have financial freedom.

I would lean towards recommending that you pursue the deal - plus having the property remain in your family may be a net positive for you and your extended family regardless of the ultimate financial return. 

Best thing to do is avoid the higher DTI debt to income, claim one as investment and use the rents to offset the new purchase. 

Usually draw fees are very minimal though and if you plan them right, it can be a great way to replenish your cash or pay down debt from rehab.

Prioritize your financial stability.

So far mostly people are telling me I'm probably stuck until their lease is over. meanwhile I also need to pay down my debt and improve credit score.
