In the US, the current tax code enables one to defer tax in perpetuity, through depreciation, 1031 exchanges, and cost basis reset when the assets are passed on to the next generation.

I would say typically they run for a year and then continue in perpetuity renewing each year on the anniversary.

Section 8 folks have negative stereotypes but nobody is trashing a nice place with a nice landlord to risk potentially losing their voucher and having to deal with a Slum Lord.

Tenants trash stuff, and not to stereotype, but college kids wreck stuff a lot (coming from a college kid who wrecked stuff a lot). 

We're perpetually on the lookout for the most competent vendors to partner with, as they significantly influence our turnaround times.

lolSo now we have 5 CA regions (followed by stereotypical saying for each region for sh*ts and giggles and an incomplete & biased description of each)1) SoCal (Coastalish from SD up to Oxnard, let's say - "like, enjoying the sun" Large metro areas with outlying suburbs.

Overall, this strategy is less work, less risk, and earns a higher return than the stereotypical turnkey duplex.Alternative 2: For those willing to assume more work and risk, in exchange for a higher ROI.

Yes thats the problem it is discriminatory to not rent to a section 8 participant based on bias and stereotyping that is the problem they will rent their houses in lower income neighborhoods which defeats the purpose of the program and segregates them in the neighborhoods they are wanting to leave that is discrimunation. 

As a woman I would NOT recommend doing this, I hate to stereotype but most contractors treat women very differently than men.
