Some industry insider drama from a little over a year ago, for anyone curious: https://www.housingwire.com/articles/46546-quicken-loans-united-wholesale-workers-are-subverting-our-mortgage-lending-operations/

"Won't" is too harsh but you're certainly "less likely".  

IMHO, the key is both who you target - international students tend to be more serious as they (their family) are spending large sums of money to come here and study - and having a live-in "Den Mother" who keeps the ship on-course.Our student rooming house produces far less drama than our other student rentals.  

@Samuel Kelly I don't mean to sound harsh, but you're already WAY out of your depth. 

I don’t have to worry about some drama happening in one of my SFH.

I don't mean to be harsh about the truck as I know the pain of making payments on mine (almost done!). 

Expect more drama in the tenant paying his/her portion of the rent as anyone in the Section 8 program is not making much of any money and something often comes up (in my experience).  

Welcome to the other side of real estate Todd.I applaud your desire to get out of "gutter" (kinda harsh) & the "traditional monetary box" (better) as you put it & go on the journey of educating yourself with alternative financing strategies.Here are some of my suggested resources:Owner Will Carry by Bill Broadbent & George Rosenberg.

It's also not harsh on most surfaces.

Thanks again...I'm just going to stick to the lease and let them sort it out--I don't see why I should allow someone else's drama to make things complicated for me.
