I don't understand why someone would ask if now is a good time to invest in section 8.

My vision is to keep it a while (it’s paid off) and use the cashflow to help with my kids college.  

So, I'd look to the other properties and ask whether the ones on the street also had only street parking versus access to a driveway.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

But do you know how you're going to come up with the upfront money? 

I couldn't make it pass the first couple of pages.Yup.

from a laptop or mobile phone on one of my SFR's (internet must be hooked up, but most tenants do it anyway and like to be able to monitor the outside of the house remotely, even if there's nothing going on.)

It also helps to identify how much capital, or access to capital, you have. 

Go ahead and file.In real life it costs you time to figure it out and money.

These contractors can be on the pricey side you'd want to make sure the #s work before considering a reputable contractor.
