Brian,PROS: Guaranteed on time rent; andRoutine inspections by Sec8 inspectors which keep your tenants on their toes.CONS:Overly demanding at times;Sense of entitlement;Endless of sobbing stories;Mostly on disabilities (regardless of most of them able to work);Will never care for your proerties;Tenants not paying the water bills in full each and every month (If they're to pay for water usage);Constant calls from sec8 tenants asking from you to write letters for them to sec8 office stating that no additional residents are living with them (this is in response to complaints sec8 office received); New pit bulls in house regardless of what it says on the lease;If you're paying for water and sewer, your property will look like a car wash and laundromat since most of their family and friends will be using your property because of ammenities.Cigarette butts all over the yard;Rent is below market rent;Arrogant Sec8 inspectors; etc.

With the endless amount of information available on sources like BP, there is really no reason that someone cannot make it happen.

@Susan Herschell you'll learn pretty soon that the transparency is not to your benefit.When one or two Tenants will ask you to wave late fees when "their car got broken", "the baby get sick", the bank account got broken into", "they change the job and will get back on track soon" - you will help them.But eventually you'll understand that these reasons are endless and you run a business, not a charity.The lease states parties as "Landlord" and "Tenant(s)", I sign the lease on behave of the Landlord as a property manager for the XXX, LLC.They contact me, they might guess now and then that I'm the property owner but I don't disappoint them with the truth.

You have endless options though.

There is an endless supply of properties there.

There really are endless ways people have found to cater to the MTR crowd.

Kansas City to be exact.Our city is rapidly growing, and the opportunities are endless. 

If they paid residuals it would be different,  they play those episodes endlessly..... 

Even as an experienced investor, there are endless topics that you can research here, and interact with people who are experts in their own given field.My area of expertise is somewhat unique, and I am happy anyone ever has a question related to cost segregation, I have an opportunity to chime in and help out.For me, having invested in fix-and-flips, BP was a great resource.

I went to engineering school and soon will get my own masters because of all this.My point is priorities change.  2 generations ago it was working endlessly to survive, now I can focus on building the kind of generation changing wealth most people never get the chance to do.
