Don't trust what ANYONE tells you about a market without solid data to back it up - this includes claims about how many transactions they've done or a single example (that's often from several years ago). 

However, we've never actually filed a claim, so take this with a grain of salt. 

You can put as little as 3-5% down and still legitimately claim the property as a primary residence which gets you better terms. 

the way to go about it is turn it over to your insurance and get the police report.. sometimes insurance will then subjugate the claim and go after the tenant criminally I had that happen on one of my rentals where the tenant did 40k in malicious damage on a new construction home I purchased in MS. 

We quit claimed the deed into our LLC for liability etc.  

In the event of damage to the product, you file your claim through them (take pics and submit).

An attorney is not needed provided your not making a claim of fraud or misconduct/damages are being sought. 

The info he claims to have is easy to find on the net or in a book but why deal with Section 8 housing problems when there are so many other investments that are nearly hands-free? 

Depreciation is another powerful tool, allowing you to deduct a portion of your property’s value annually.Action Step: Keep detailed records of all expenses and consult a tax professional to ensure you’re claiming every deduction you’re entitled to.3.

This way they can't claim ignorance.I would also require a move out inspection and make it the day after they are supposed to be moved out.
