You must have helpful Section 8 agencies - anytime I've talked to the tenant's caseworker about issues they just say "not my concern".

@Anca R. and everyone, thanks for the shout out.To simplify the process the best I can, I'll address and break down each concern. 1.

However, a lot of concerns can be mitigated with looking at their past rental behavior in a lot of different settings.

@Chris Seveney I'm concerned about having $$$ for repairs when needed.

If you were looking at buying in Florida, but your lender is in NY or California, they dont really have to be as concerned about their reputation because the realtors (most likely) will never work with them again. #1 is the primary reason, but #2 does factor in as well.

Several factors indicate the company is not that concerned about efficiency or ease of customer process: the website, a process that seemed to focus on one issue at a time instead of all issues at once, and consistently poor communications and lack of common sense from the loan analyst we were assigned.It started off very well with the initial point of contact, Austin Lornson, who did a fine job of explaining the general refinancing process, responding quickly and thoroughly to our questions.

I do not hold any actual real estate because I did not want to be concerned with being less fluid.

Sounds like a good plan, should have plenty of options available.I would be cognizant of any group you talk with on two areas, the location of the property including any potential concerns of it being 'rural', as well as the minimum purchase price and/or minimum loan amounts.

My concern is that I may need to invest a significant amount in redecorating the home to appeal to this new audience.I’d really appreciate your thoughts on this.

However, we are taking over from a PM to self-manage and are inheriting the current setup.Our biggest concern is that this first communication from the tenant was a sob story asking for $500 back/off rent.
