Yes, the government pays the Section 8 rent timely, but more and more tenants are having to pay a portion of their rent.

Most people I know start with low money down programs so they can get away with a initial capital investment of around $25k but you also need reserves.  

I wanted to use the camera footage as evidence in a civil case against the tenant.I was initially told that it would take 2 weeks to get the footage to me, then that blew out to several months, and now finally 6 months later they finally get back to me and tell me the footage doesn't exist, even though the initial report said cameras were activated.That footage would have shown that the tenant was making threats to damage my property (which she made good on).Do I have any recourse on the police for failing to provide the footage on a timely basis?

I emphasized the quick closing timeline and my ability to pay cash via hard money financing to strengthen my offer.

The perceived value may be more, because you know an STR was run there and making money, but a lender wont value it more.While I agree a lender probably won’t value it more, an investor interested in running it as a STR will pay more.
