Here are some thoughts.How big of a discount did you get on your purchase price?

One seems legit but the price for the course is 11k.

This is my first section 8, but been doing other long terms for awhile but starting to see a real opportunity in voucher housing with the back log of qualified people waiting for housing. 

One veteran buyer remarked to me that he didn't get any properties because the prices were so high. 

In the unfortunate event someone passes away and the property transfers via probate or a will, that fair market price gets "stepped up" so no taxes are paid.I would check with a CPA, but this is my understanding.

I think it helps flippers as it is easy to find the purchase pricesp versus selling price.
