But if your preference is a single family home, I still think it works great!

Only you know what level of furnishing will be you personal niche.

I want to occupy one of the units, my preference would be the 2/1 so I can collect more rent from the 3/2 to go towards my mortgage. 

BP and Rich Dad podcasts have been vocal about this niche.

I'd prefer the latter although I have to say your ranting about communism and name-calling and some other comments here are pretty off-putting at times.

Eventually, I got my footing and figured out my niche.

We would prefer not to sell anything off at this time and plan on owning these properties for a few more decades (although we have considered selling some for various reasons). 

Regarding preference of red vs blue, for many, it's not about profit and more about values and/or peace of mind (i.e., housing a squatter is infuriating).

There are a lot of great things that come with renting two Section 8 tenants like an annual guarantee of income once you get a negotiated price on a contract with HUD but this does not negate the fact that there is good and bad to everything and whether that be a cash pay tenant or a Section 8 tenant, it's ALL about the way you do business, and whether or not you have experience to be able to recognize the way that certain things should or should not be handled so that you end up benefiting from the situation instead of losing. let's keep this thread going, if anyone else has any other insights please continue to post this is a great thread because there is a lot of general misconception about Section 8 HUD tenants, properties, and investors, it is certainly a niche market so to speak but if you know what you're doing it can be extremely lucrative.

I inquired about the area codes they prefer, the types of houses, the kind of work they are looking to do on the properties, and other details that would help me locate a deal for them.
