Quote from @Violet Cobb: I joined the gator tribe last week, I'm very impressed by Pace and the course.

I’d love to hear about your goals and what you’re hoping to achieve here.

Hi Malcolm, With your strategy of holding multi-family properties or flipping, the key is running the numbers carefully to match your goals.

I would not be doing long term financing on section 8 nor would I own any.. just my personal goals.

@Chinku Chinku how is paying the loan balance down going to help you reach your goals?

The goal is to slowly build a real estate portfolio and get to a point that I can eventually sale my business. 

Had that happen to me last summer.

I've only evicted a tenant through the court system three times in the last ten years, but I remove about a dozen tenants every year outside of the court system, all legally.Any tenant can move out in two weeks.

Last, I would like to also say that if a company WERE to sue a BiggerPockets member for defamation in a forum thread, that I would be very interested in covering the situation as a news story.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.
