You've probably heard of big Landlords losing property, but only because they were flagrantly violating Fair Housing, running a slum, or otherwise violating the law in an egregious manner.

Quote from @Edreco Amos: Quote from @Rob Drum: I’ve owned a condo and Tampa, and two houses down the west coast of Florida the last two years.

The agent works "for free" until the house sells, so taking them out of the deal is theft, and immoral."

But, these broad market studies are so large, they are almost meaningless, in the real world.Between glut of new supply in many "hot" markets coming online, a continually softening economic outlook, inflation over last couple years making day to day items feel cost prohibitive, many average renters are strapped and seeking lower cost housing.  

If my spouse was willing to move more frequently I’d house hack a 4 unit every year.

In other words, I can afford the house with or without tenants. 

People house hacking have far different expectations than someone buying properties with cash. 

If you are willing to do the work, the landlord can often be the first point of contact with housing assistance.

First when I wanted to create a fund to buy court house steps..

I think you're in the right are for investment affordable housing .
