.**** At some point, future, I think I will want most all properties paid off so I can have great flow with minimal stress and maintenance numbers but kinda feel growth phase is still smartest as of now. 

Hi @Elizabeth Rose - apologies for the delayed response.

Jumping in is very nerve racking and I'm trying everything I can to minimize my risk, but I guess I can only do some much planning before jumping right in

Most of my units are 1 / 1 apartments of similar configuration which has made it a lot easier to slot in new tenants with minimal gaps in the schedule.  

Has anyone had their annual inspections on their section 8 rentals delayed by months?

Was going for a 5% down loan but last minute had to adjust it to a 7.5% down but still a pretty minimal cash layout.

Hi Travis,You can still finance it as a bridge in the form of delayed financing.

And it sounds like you are really looking for delayed financing. 

@Mary Joe in most states, a property tax reassessment chases market value.So, if you do the 2nd transfer soon after the first, the impact on property tax amount should be minimal.

But, could I minimize risk of renter defaulting on payments for the 2nd property by turning this property into a section 8 housing unit with guaranteed income from the gov't?
