I'm an accountant by trade.

In a nutshell, IL (where I live) too expensive of a market, but WI, MI, OH etc seems like you’d get more bang for your buck. also,  you can look at a City’s  consolidation plan and what their plans are for development to get a good forecasting of housing booms.

I know this sounds a bit like a weather forecast - "Sunny with a chance of rain" - but my crystal ball seems to be on the fritz right now.Best regards, Stevan

Sometimes their speakers have trade show booths where you can speak directly with them or they are available before or after their speaking session.

Amarillo, actually.  1960’s build, nice area, but a family trade thing I never particularly wanted.  

Hi, I'm a long time Bigger Pockets fan and a financial advisor/CFP and former tax lawyer by trade.

Forecasted performance is your best-case scenario and shouldn't be relied on, particularly in a tougher market like Memphis. 

But since you asked I have hired multiple skilled trades and as a union worker I work hand in hand with them everyday of my life.

Investors should fully understand that Section 8 is not a cure-all for Class C & D tenant challenges, it's just trading one set of problems for another.We see too many investors not doing enough research to fully understand all this and making naïve investing decisions.

@John Kim @Travis Biziorek is 100% correct.S8 really isn't difficult, but it's not the answer to everything that the self-proclaimed "gurus" make it out to be.With S8 tenants, you're just trading one set of challenges versus direct paying tenants.When we advertise a rental, we take the best tenant we can find, immaterial of their source of rental funds.You want to be careful investing in the City of Detroit because there are a lot of "crooks" trying to sell you Class D properties dressed up to look like Class C or B.Connect with us or Travis for more info!
