Hi Dustin, I will say that section 8 and rental assistance programs are quite slow when it comes to getting back - if they do qualify, they should be able to get rental assistance but it likely will take a bit of time before you get paid as a landlord.

This will slow down with the recession, but things really have gotten crazy.

I don't want to analyze deals to deep because i wont buy for maybe another 8 months or so but is there anything yall can recommend that i can be doing now to help me when it comes down to analyzing deals?

The real estate and contracting business can be a little slow to embrace technology.
