@ Rich NgHave you had much trouble with section 8 over the years vs. your market rate tenants ?

We have owned a STR in Florida's panhandle, which has done very well for us for 10 years. 

Hey Jeff without knowing any details everything is what you are able negotiate. but you have to take in account the years interest rate and purchase price and what kind of cash flow.I will say get a mentor if you’re inexperienced these kind of deals can go left if you really have little knowledge when it comes to structure .

What are your thoughts on putting new construction in a B+/C- neighborhood? Everything around the lot is older but the neighborhood is less than 5 minutes away from downtown, hospital and colleges.

While we see year+ long furnished stays here in the Charlotte area, they are far and few between.With that being said, the furniture, linens, appliances, etc. you provide/leave for guests matters.

Many years ago, we worked with a VA on a fixed rate.

Has appreciated a ton over the past few years, and will continue to do so!

We do lending and we ask the question - if you have been doing this for ten years and don't have any money where did it all go?
