Food for thought.

I think most of them are too immature and just don't want the responsibilities of growing up, like paying rent, power, food...  

I just came back from there and really love the city, culture, people, food. , and now wondering what the process might be for acquiring something there, where it might make the most sense, and if the numbers check out in the short and potentially long term.I'd love to connect with anyone who can offer any advice or thoughts would really be tremendous.

That is why illegals are given a debit card at the boarder, to "pay" for food and housing.

Just some food for thought.What market are you in?

We ARE a chapter of National REIA, so joining gets the paint discount, cabinet program, and rebate - as well as access to all the other national vendor perks and programs.We're in process of getting local vendors and sponsors lined up as we move forward.Starting in September, meetings will take place in the evening on the 3rd Thursday of each month, 5-9pm, food and non-alcoholic refreshments provided (buy your own booze). 

There are many benefits with section 8 in order for the tenant to be placed in one of my properties they go through a process with the committee then when living in the property they need to abide by lease rules and keep the property in shape, if major damage is made or neglect to the property by the tenant they may losE their voucher from section 8, so it’s a very good idea to go this route and food for thought you always know your property is up to date safety wise and livable with annually inspections. 

They didn’t have to break the door thankfully but they had to break my $200 touchscreen lock and then sent me a 300+ locksmith bill as well as a 900+ junk removal bill although there were no furniture left in the unit and the junk removal people only removed left over food from the fridge and the freezer!!!

@KarlB- That's also another way of looking at it...good food for thought.

They also do not work in a timely fashion so if it’s a rental that could be a problemJust food for thoughtFor us what we make sure we do is service and maintain our equipment like hvac and appliances which often leads to longer life spans
