So take your hot take & flush it down the toilet.Being truly, truly anonymous is never a reality but doing what it takes to create layers of protections absolutely exists and when it's all you have or part of what you have it's worth owning it. 

Remember, four weeks is already 7.6% of a year without any cash flow—let that sink in!

Meeting other investors in real life helps spur the thoughts and research into reality.

I am a landlord, broker, investors, etc. and have section 8 tenants as well - luckily I have a good relationship with my tenants but man oh man... dealing with their case worker was almost like they were paying out of their own wallet for a rent increase when in reality HUD had updated rent guidelines.Do you not have an online portal or account that you can access the section 8 landlord portal via?

@Evan Polaski Thank you for the reality check but I do understand I’m nowhere near ready to actually jump into the market.

Example: Bathroom remodel (tub, sink, toilet and floor "laminated" $750). 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

You may find $100k properties that provide meager cashflow like $300/ month on paper but in reality they will be paper tigers.

And the reality is the lot is NOT split, and the real cost in doing so, the impact on cashflow and the risk to my loan make it an untenable effort unless I planned to sell right away. 

@Jean G.The reality is: it dependsIt’s a numbers game where you need to first determine: what yield do I want and what are the outcomes/ risks involved that could impact thatBuild yourself a financial calculator to understand this but also understand you need to know every process and how much it costs and how long it takes90% upb on a commercial property in a non judicial state with equity and default interest at 15% is a great deal but take that same asset in another state which also has long eviction laws and it could be awfulLastly bankruptcy could wipe out some of your lien depending on the type and how the loan was written.
