Good to take advantage of the high rents and rapid appreciation when we can in these areas, but it's a scary game!

I am an active buyer as much as I can in the Hanford area.

At what point do you discover that you can in fact use financing?

I can do so much more here in Texas than I can in California.

And thanks; I do consider myself a different breed of advisor.

Hey JessicaSome banks don't offer 30 year fixed on investment/commercial properties.30 year fixed is the way to go if you can in this period of historically low interest rates. 

It can be good kharma because you are helping out with the affordable housing situation.You can screen them just like you do all tenants.....I have Section 8 tenants at properties in Oakland, CA, Concord, CA and Cleveland, OH and myself and the property manager were able to screen them and gets tenants in that have no dangerous breed animals, no felonies, no evictions, no smokers and we literally had to turn away qualified Section 8 applicants because we or I didn't have any more rentals available because it's like a Sellers Market when you market to Section 8 tenants.   

You need to remember we are a rare breed !

Proceed as planned, continue to save as much as you can in order to invest, and probably most importantly, continue to educate yourself on investing/personal finance/real estate.

If they do not comply you can in some states File for eviction based on habitual late payments.
