Even they will probably be a couple days out.

A couple of years back I read an article regarding what was called the donut effect when it came to major cities.

It’s the second occurrence within a couple months.

I'm looking to get to my first couple of sales and I heard here is the best place to look for advice.

I have called 311 with a couple of code enforcement/zoning questions, and they have always been able to put me in touch with someone who could answer my question. 

There are things you can do to save money if you need such as buying used washers and dryers or repairing a roof to delay replacement an extra couple years.

I love it for the guaranteed rent, tenant stability, additional accountability with the housing authority and large demand for Section 8 housing without enough supply.With strong screening, I'm able to find great tenants and Im not owed any rent.Cons you will often hear is that the tenants are harder on your properties (doesnt have to be the case in my experience if you screen really well), the Housing Authority is a pain to deal with (this depends on a couple things - how well run your local PHA is and how good you are at handling process & details) and the extra inspections/red tape make the niche unprofitable (see what I said above about Housing Authorities).Done right, I believe Section 8 is one of the most stable & profitable. 

After three weekends' of showing to about 15-20 groups of people, I decided to rent to a couple relocating back to California (credit it 580, lower than my required 650, but with parents as co-signer, parents have good jobs and own a house, and local in town).

This seems like a tough situation to be in for your first couple units!

A couple years later I married her.
