One thing I did note is my insurance is $3K a year lower due to the monitored fire suppression system in these larger properties versus my smaller properties that sleep 12 or less built close to the same time.As someone who has lived in Illinois twice, the politicians there don't care if people burn as long as they can tax and spend. 

SBA loans can also be used to purchase existing real estate, as long as at least 51% of the square footage is owner occupied (so occupied by your business). 

As long as I'm not taking it out of the property into my personal income, I don't have the income tax burden.

So long as the rent can’t debt service.

I think renting out a single family can be a viable option for some people as long as they understand it's not going to cashflow like a multi. 

@Jay Garrison grand is still the solid boarder, even if your west of Homan as long as north of grand there’s solid tenants/homeowners.

Appreciation here is good and likely to continue as long as people want to move in the area, and housing inventory is still low. 

The much larger group 1 is the people who are naive and due to their lack of knowledge, experience, and possibly limited capacity, get “suckered” by the scammers.The smaller group 2 are those that understand but don’t care if they’re part of an unethical undertaking as long as they make money themselves.  

If price point for these properties is a limiting factor, properties found on the North side of Veteran's Memorial Pkwy can be viable too, as long as they are on the East side of Santa Barbara Blvd, and South of Pine Island Rd (SR-78)

If you are an owner thinking about taking section 8, it can be very very lucrative as long as you understand that their requirements go.
