It's a quirk that very few areas of the country have.Both the city and county have their own areas that have Section 8 residents, but the Housing Authorities that handle the programs are different. 

My names Charles Aiello, upstate New York resident (Rochester NY).

I just acquired one from a PM where they were charging a tenant a resident benefit package and a building protection plan.  

The main reason I ask is because that is significantly below primary residence mortgage rates let alone any investment loans, if you can get rates like that I might need to make some changes on my end hahahTo answer your original question, assuming all else is equal long-term fixed rate debt is valuable. 

Normal mortgage rates are in the high 6's now, for a personal residence, and higher for an investment property. 

Take advantage of the Capital Gain deduction of $250,000 in primary residence per “spouse”.   2.  

I've finally found a property that could be a good fit for my primary residence- if I can get a good price on it.  

To me, I would just accept Zelle and update Avail if possible and look to see what the tenant is looking for in terms of repairs, how much rent you'll get from them, and if you want them as a resident.

Unfortunately it's a necessary evil to weed out the residents that are not ideal.

I think we have the option of taking out a heloc  and begin to invest elsewhere.The other idea , that I was thinking is paying off our primary residence which we owe 425k.
