Only potential disadvantages.  

Other side will use that fact to your disadvantage.  

There may not be a retaliation law specific to this scenario, but the principle may carry over if one of them is a protected class and they claim you were disadvantaging them.

Hi @Anthony Sanzari great question to keep it short there are definitely some advantages and disadvantages to section 8 just to give you a couple for each.Advantages: 1. 

OOS you are at a disadvantage versus the local investors in that knowledge.Loca investing allows easier heroics if/when necessary.  

I  can give yu some good pointers though PMGood Luck"@Jason - I was intrigued by your response because my partner and I was literally talking about the very same topic today (absentee mailings).Part of our discussion was mailing to "owner occupied" properties with equity.Obviously there are some minor disadvantages of course such as "waiting for them to move (longer close times)", etc but I agree with your methodology of "thinking outside the box".I'm seriously interested in what you are "doing different" in terms of mailing parameters for these "owner occupied" properties.I don't expect you to "give anything away" nor am I expecting any handouts but my partner and I have dissected this subject over and over and it would be nice to have some insight from someone who is actually having success with these "owner occupied" lists.I'm local here to the SF Bay Area as well and I can't even begin to tell you how many calls I get from people who complain about receiving so many different inquiries from others trying to "buy their house".Any additional insight you can provide on the forum or via PM would be GREATLY appreciated..Jimmy

(Disadvantage is that another investor has already flipped it and gained the equity). 

Hello, What are some of the advantages and or disadvantages of hanging your license with flat monthly fee broker?

Are there any disadvantage rent by landlord? 

Yes, I had read about the amount of occupants per tenant, but it seems there is no restriction on the number of nights the occupant may be at the unit, so I was wondering if it was disadvantageous to have "occupants."
