I haven't been expanding my business with LMHA since the end of 2016 per my posts above so I don't know exactly what changed, but I expect the outsourcing of inspections to private industry + some executive level leadership + replacement of staff with new faces excited to serve the needs of HUD/Landlords/Those In Need has resulted in an agency I will develop more business with.The HCVP will always be a double edged sword for landlords (See Section 8 Bible discussion) but for now I have discovered it is finally worth the effort to participate in the program.I specialize in Toledo's transition neighborhoods, discounted houses on the edge of nicer areas but also on the edge of trash...the Section 8 program allows me to get long-term tenants who are a good business model provided they are consistently managed and visited/inspected for additional "visitors" (relatives and random dogs/cats) and damage/housekeeping which can destroy a home if left unchecked.You need to know the rules, repair and renovate for long-term durability, prepare for inspections thoroughly and keep a team of contractors who will hold those standards...after 8 years we have been through a hundred inspections.

Not just because I live there but because it is generally cheaper and better neighborhoods are available.

Mine are all in pretty good neighborhoods that are very walkable.

And while someone paying a professional to do a detailed and relatively costly search may be able to ascertain your wealth status; a superficial search would probably leave the potential plaintiff believing you lacked the assets to make a lawsuit worthwhile. 

Listings with higher engagement and satisfaction may be prioritized in search rankings.

Neighborhoods on the shores of Lake Travis, in Round Rock and in Driftwood are among the hottest housing markets in the Austin area. 

It depends on the neighborhood and maybe even what improvements that hypothetical home built in the 1970s got. 

We invest in the same neighborhoods.

Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy.
