Your “don’t evict strategy” could only make sense in a market that literally hates landlords.

The two are almost entirely different markets in terms of price points, returns, tenant quality, and overall investing strategy.

I would keep it at "reasonable market rent" (whatever that means).

Trying to get a split level (not a lot of sqft) on the market in the next three weeks and trying to decide on whether to open the wall between the dining and living room for a feel of openness or leave it as I have heard from two interior designers that the open concept is on the way out as we are more at home and liking our separate areas in the home.Pragmatically speaking the opening of the wall will be mostly a time drain with it being a load bearing wall and having to support the ceiling while rebuilding and all the drywalling necessary.

Thus more marketable.  

While Treasuries are often viewed as "risk-free" investments, certain real estate deals in today’s market offer a compelling alternative—especially when purchased at a deep discount.Take, for example, a 1,000+ unit apartment complex in a suburb near Michigan.

Sit back and wait for the market conditions to flip to where those strategies would work for me, or adapt to the current market.  

In many markets section 8 is higher than market rate. and investors need that extra return to mitigate the risk of sec 8 tenants generally speaking.

Yeah, no pre-approval for us as well.

Networking and market research will be key to finding the right deals and scaling your portfolio.
