I've read a lot of bad information on how some gurus are promoting techniques that are flawed at best, fraud at worst.

Scranton area seems to be a lot more landlord friendly than New York is, and the numbers seem better as well, Section 8 seems appealing for the guaranteed income but I will definitely take that information under consideration as I’m looking to invest in the area.

What kinda gets me is when the same poster becomes hostile, argumentative, accusatory and or sarcastic because they’re not receiving the response they want (and probably just paid $5k + for knowledge/information/mentorship that won’t lead to their desired result).
