Therefore, if you are getting more income from section 8 tenants, then theoretically your value will be higher, but you will be restricted to buyers that are only looking for Section 8, which could restrict your buyer pool.

Of course, with all things, the answers to all these matters will depend on the circumstances.California tends to have more laws on the books and requirements and restrictions that it can be a good idea to form a CA LLC for out of state property so that you as a CA resident are covered, and to try to have your contracts fall under the purview of CA courts.

So I just wanted to make sure that the 8 days that they accessed the property to continue to move out basically, would be considered unpaid rent.  

Have you asked if there are any deed restrictions on the property?

Or what are other ways I can access this equity to purchase?  

Some HMLs have lending restrictions by state.

Average rental rates, vacancies, competition, growth, appreciation, etc..Ive heard of scrolling through Zillow and collecting information by looking at properties for sale/rent but was wondering if there is a site where all of this information is easily accessible or any ideas for better ways to go about it.Thanks in advance!

Legal Implications and RisksThere are a few legal and procedural risks to be aware of:Title and Zoning Issues: Confirm there are no restrictions tied to the property.

Things like quiet hours, parking restrictions, etc.2.

Also concerning, I just looked at zillow post and the pictures are very grainy and unflattering, even though they should have access to the nicer photos (I have had these for years, see below)..I've also been getting lots of calls form companies wanting me to sell my house.
