Can we hear from individuals who have experienced sustained success buying section 8 rentals while relying on entirely 3rd party service providers? 

This looked intriguing, but I'm worried that YNAB is less user friendly for my situation.Queue the back story: I work as a realtor with a small RE investment portfolio, and my wife is a more stable W2 Engineer. 

Sure the site is a little out-dated in appearance but it is so user-friendly and although it isn't my highest producing lead source, I do tend to get very strong leads from there and no spam so far. 

That will be up to the facts of your individual case.

But you would have to calculate the individual debt services to see if the debt is cheaper or more expensive.

They're a conduit lender, so they require more documentation than a mortgage fund or private individual would request. 

Some are actually more environmentally friendly, more stable and more secure.

Any suggestions for an investor-friendly real estate agent and tax specialist/CPA in both these places?

Friend How did you finance this deal?

I've had friends that lost all back rent to a property management company that went bankrupt.
