So this is actually fairly straightforward... 99% of houses don't make good rental properties - your original primary will not make a good rental. $2900 (mortgage payment) - $2500 (projected rent) = -$400 (monthly cashflow).

Realtor.com has a lot of data on rent cost and housing prices. - What driving factors should I take into account when l'm looking for an up n' coming hot markets?

I still made a ton of money net, from original cost basis to after splitting things unfairly.

This will give you an idea of where you can be priced at with factual data rather than guessing a 3%. 3% could be sufficient but the data will help you be confident in your decision. 

Toledo's Lucas County Metropolitan Housing Authority...LMHA which administers the Section 8 program seems to have had a difficult 2016 and 2017 doesn't seem much better.I've been renting to Section 8 for seven years now, I still have my original tenant in fact, and normally I find great satisfaction in renting to good tenants and working with the bureaucracy that comes with a government program...I had 10 properties rented section 8 at one point and have slowly prioritized standard rentals over the program and now am seeing blatant issues with their operations causing me to move away from considering their tenants.Delays in the program: We used to have 5 business day's delay for new-tenant vouchers to be reviewed and processed for inspection but have been going weeks before we hear anything.

I have to scroll down to find the original post, so I’m reading the responses before the actual post.  

The assignment did not release the original contract purchaser from liability unless the seller expressly consented to the assignment and fully released them (a novation, in effect)… which is not part of the fact pattern.So the agent is right.

@Paul Cox @Sarah Kensinger There is a lot to it obviously but one newer trick I learned is a site called seats.aero where you can put in your origin, destination, and dates and it will return a lot of results across all rewards programs.Using the above example I am actually flying on United but I booked through Aeroplan (Air Canada) which is a partner of United.
