I know I saw a posting from Philadelphia officially prosecuting and aggressively going after landlords that advertise "no section 8" on craigslist , they do have a number to contact the city to report and are fining, so given the costs stated if you lose is it worth the risk, and as far as rent amount, they compute 3x the rent from the tenants contribution, since most section 8 only pay 30% or less they would always qualify, some zero income actually are 100% cover so based on contribution would qualify for any, and section 8 cant have major criminal background or evictions during time covered by section 8 they would pass that screening, so perhaps best way is to crunch the numbers or credit, to see the tenants priority on debts, some although that have higher income would rather spend money on toys and diner out, a voucher takes so long to get they may not want to lose it, and if some has lots of undocumentable income or less stable say make $30 hr but only keep that job for 2 months till they get in... have to look at each scenario , maybe if their current address is local just drive by it, may be questionable but peace of mind...

I've been toying around with a few options similar to this.

if the problem can be identified and caused by the tenants (baby cloth wipes, toys, grease ... in drain)  - bill them.all others causes are just cost of doing business. 

Memorial day weekend we went to my grandparents lake house and spent about 5 hours just the two of us on their little beach playing with a couple toys and exploring the water.  

We have 5 other long-term rental properties in the area already and they're super easy to rent.I'm just toying with the idea at this point, as this may not be the best property for Airbnb vs. traditional rental anyway.  

Everything I've read online points to "yes," but I don't think there's any other way to convince this guy to sell.2. 

Hi @Conner Thompson,Fannie/Freddie isn't going to count rental income appearing on Schedule E for a SFR that you are living in (though Fannie is toying with counting "boarder income" in rare circumstances not applicable to your situation, meaning that generalization above could change tomorrow).

Good Afternoon everyone, Im currently looking for my second property and have been toying with the idea of using a option contract to buy my next property.
