You can make a lot of money, but be warned, a large % of Section 8 tenants are complete savages.

I currently have a single family property averaging $330 a month in cash flow which is going into a basic checking account seperate from personal.

With your experience, you have a lot to share, and it’s great to have you here.

This is a story from my past that provides a perfect example as to why investing in tax liens at auction is so dangerous for any but the most experienced and knowledgable investors20 years ago I purchased a SFR as a long term rental investment that sat on a double lot.  

@NA NASince this is your first purchase, focus on finding a property where the numbers work, rather than just any deal.

@Collin StewartSince you're PCSing to Columbia, SC, and have VA loan entitlement remaining, house hacking a small multifamily with a VA loan is a strong option since it requires zero down.

Is that a good cash flow? 

In order for you to make a good decision to stay in real estate and do a 1031 if selling that AZ property is warranted.And at the end of the day there is the crystal ball factor :)

He'd tell you you're wasting your time and energy if he were here right now. 

Glad to have you as a part of this awesome community, Simon!
