I currently don't show income and just left my other place of employment.

@Jay Fayz for SFR (1-4 family) Classifications are mostly opinion-based.Not aware of anyone tracking eviction rates, except Evictions Lab nonprofit that doesn't like landlords.Here's some info that might helpt:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Consider starting with house hacking to reduce housing costs while learning property management, or explore mid-term and short-term rentals for steady or higher income.

It’s usually best to open a separate business checking account so your rental income and expenses stay organized and away from personal funds.

The program was created to give low-income tenants an alternative to living in federal project housing.S8 sets their rental rates to the LOW-END of market averages, if not slightly below.

She’s currently not paying rent, and while she has some health issues and no stable income, she’s been communicative and open to general talks, with a possible option to vacate through a cash-for-keys arrangement, though this might take around six weeks and some hard work.I plan to rehab the property and eventually rent it out, potentially to a Section 8 tenant.

Congratulations, you get to share your partners tax burden and pay the depreciation recapture at ordinary income rates. 

Third, I was reading Small and Mighty (thanks Nathan Gesner) and found myself doing a "Wait a minute..." when he lays out that for B-ish SFHs he wants at least 6-7% rental income (after expenses), 3% appreciation, relative to the house price.

Imagine having the majority of the section 8 tenants, with that steady and reliable income.  

Unfortunately, one of my Apts had to have all the pipes replaced and at the time the retired plumber went with copper.
