In my experience, the average Section 8 resident behaves differently than the average market rate resident, and the government-backed rent is not worth the added hassle.  

I was preapproved with that amount before, but it was for a single family, primary residence about six months ago.

The City I invest in has a somewhat outdated rule that states an emergency contact must reside within 60 miles of the residence. 

So I'm doing the preliminary work in the meantime--contacting the city to see what they would like, reaching out to the residents in the neighborhood, etc That's great that you are doing your research beforehand. 

there's a tremendous demand for inventory - both primary residences and rentals - and so buyers are willing to accept lower yield than a lot of us think makes sense. 

That being said, there’s nothing wrong with investing in blue collar areas but I prefer to invest in the ones that have a higher degree of owner occupancy because the residents of those areas care about where they live and have deeper roots.
