But….You can see you’re being screwed over by the power company, or the government, or both.

I bet the government thought people would plug in while visiting the DMV and then leave, that never happens.

Grants and Subsidies: Research local government or nonprofit programs that offer grants or subsidies for renovations, especially in designated revitalization areas.9.

Why would any landlord list their properties for LESS than what the government is willing to pay?

The 1031 will let you get there using the tax dollars for your benefit rather than paying them to the government - a big bump to your net return.

The number one employer is the state government, because the capital is next door, and the number two employer is the federal government, both are not cyclical and don't fluctuate, if anything their job base increases. 

Can you go ahead and change that (think address of record for LLCs or bills for other properties).Make sure any HOA and the local government allows for your home as an MTR.1 last point to add to Jamie's first point: if you can, take a video tour of the home and what you're leaving behind.

Government AgenciesGovernment agencies can also foreclose on properties.

A few things to keep in mind:Section 8 requires the property to pass an inspection based on HUD’s Housing Quality Standards (basically making sure it’s safe and well-maintained).The rent you charge has to align with Fair Market Rents (FMRs) in your area, so it’s good to check what similar properties are renting for.You’ll still be responsible for maintaining the property, but the upside is that a chunk of the rent is guaranteed by the government, which can provide steady income.Check with the local housing authority about any specifics for your area—every jurisdiction does things a little differently.This could be a great niche if you can find a good deal on the land and make sure your expenses (like maintenance, insurance, and occasional vacancies) are covered by the rental income.

@Lucas Schlund the same thing that happened to all the STRs in NY City when their ordinance went into effect, as well as many other cities.Owners must comply and the government doesn't care about your potential losses:(
