This is not one of them from my recollection.I know this does not assist but what I would say is continue to do research on them.

Purchase price: $72,000 Cash invested: $107,600Case Study: Cockroaches to Cash FlowProperty AcquisitionI found this property through MLS.

Our instincts are to eventually rent it and use the income for payment assistance on a new home mortgage.

@Tom OchiengI would reach out to a real estate attorney for specific advice on this situation since you already have one tenant who is being difficult.On a side note, when I have inherited tenants, I have been most successful when I have provided longer non-renewal notices, like 60-90 days, and offered to assist with moving costs.

I suspect there would be massive blow back if the feds attempt to lower sec 8 rental assistance. 

@Joshua Patterson nice intro, but what specifically do you need our assistance with?

However, we will likely need a property manager to assist with some facets of running this rental (since we would not live locally) and would primarily market it through platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO to start, (eventually setting up a direct booking process).Here's our question for those who have experience in STR's or who might be involved in a similar scenario: How challenging is it to meet the material participation hours needed to achieve active status?

Hi Junior, I'm in Atlanta, but I have sold properties in Macon, Ga if you every need any assistance.  

A lot of it has to do with location and time.If they are local owners looking at 1-2 LTR properties, I'll assist with identifying cash flowing/near cash flowing properties, assist them in the purchase as their buyers agent and assist with tenant procurement, listing, etc. but they can typically handle day to day management from there.Furnished properties, whether that be MTR or STR, are a lot more involved, as I'm sure you're aware of!

Our job is to provide you assistance.
