TLDR: If you're in year 4 of 10 and pay the mortgage off, your payoff balance will be adjusted to reflect the cost of buying a gov't bond that will produce the equivalent amount of dividend payments for the remaining 6 years (in other words, one way or another, the lender is absolutely going to get their 10 years of payments).

what you need to do is buy in better areas where the price points are higher and the returns are risk adjusted.. that means paper returns are less.. but you know investors they tend to not think about tenant risk and go for the highest returns on paper..

The high visibility of listings on these platforms often leads to intense competition, making it challenging to secure deals that align with your investment criteria.I highly recommend identifying a target market and cultivating relationships with local wholesalers operating in that area.

Like a marriage, you certainly want the capacity to change / adjust, but that can lead to a breakup, or a complete change of heart.

Hi Phil, When I have worked with Section 8 clients, I first contact their case worker & let them know a rent increase is imminent, in some cases the Housing Case worker will also send a letter of adjustment showing the "New Tenant Adjustment Rate" to be paid.

You will get one maybe 80% of what you want and have to adjust systems or supplement from there IMO.Choose wisely, switching is a big PITA

The French doors were painted, so this was also labor-intensive. 

It has 9 foot ceilings, some plaster of paris and need to adjust a vent.

It looks like a less labor intensive way to increase cash flow over the STR route but also includes structural changes to a single family home (additional setup costs) and dealing with low income tenants.  

Gain = Sales price less expenses less adjusted basisAdjusted basis is purchase price plus improvements less accumulated depreciation.
