That’s the very simplified version but raising capital is always your biggest limiting factor so the more investors you can connect with the better. 

Hi, We have five garnishments on evicted tenants in KCMO that our Lawyer is chasing, with very limited success.

The system is what's really broken:1) S8 should have a time limit - get free housing to get your life in order and move on.2) S8 should have strong requirements for taking care of the home taxpayers are paying the rent for. --- We haven't seen a S8 inspection report in over a decade that required a tenant to fix damages they obviously caused.

I need help finding statistics of appreciation, population growth, job growth.California of course has great appreciation and limited competition growth with high house prices making renting almost a necessity but I worry with more people leaving California then coming in this year that Phoenix might be a better investment in terms of long term growth.

Closing Costs – Remember to factor in refi fees and how long you plan to hold the property to determine if refinancing will save you money overall.Since you mentioned owning the property for only a year, your equity might still be limited, impacting your options or leading to higher costs.

If you don't want the headache of management that is fine but will limit your options.
