Section 8 rentals can be a great way to start because the all or part of the rental payments are guaranteed by the government.

I don’t try to time the market because I have seen the M2 money supply chart and understand the government will always print money.

As well those government guaranteed section 8 rents have been consistently increasing every year. 5 Bedrooms are now renting for $2000 plus tenants pay ALL utilities. 3 Bedroom Duplexes are up to $1650 x 2 a month = $3,300 + they pay gas and electric.

The governments are quick to reassess when values go up, not so much when they go down. 

Can you have that knowledge without the state or government or TRELA or NAR stamping you with their approval? 

I just graduated and am currently working as an intern at a government agency (for up to one year).
