Thanks in advance.Hey Cosmo,I do think there is a growing concern towards the reliability with section 8 with varying administrations right now.

Hudson is a pretty "touristy" town, so BnB's became a big thing and the local gov't was concerned about the amount of long term housing available.

I will say that they never ignored my concerns.

I'm curious what your primary concerns were with reliability when calling the 6 providers.

Step into their shoes, listen to their concerns, and meet them where they’re at.

Our lot is fenced in and we cannot see where he lives but close enough to be of concern, but we want to stay in the same town until the kids are finished school.So, my question is this, would it make sense to rent our home (roughly $2300-2500/mo. as per real-estate agent claims), with the stipulation that the garage is used for my business AND buy a home nearby?

Quote from @Michael Smythe: Would only recommend on a Class A property in a city with major housing shortage.Then you are likely to get solid white-collar tenants that understand the living arrangement.Otherwise, you'll get transient type tenants that will be nothing but trouble.This was what I was concerned about. 

We were on a very quick timeline and were able to get one quote that didn't seem too bad, but we still were concerned about future resale value.

I would give them a list of what you’re looking for/at ahead of time and obviously not linger in areas where this couldn’t be a concern.
