Hi everyone - So with the declaration here by the administration regarding Federal funding how does this impact section 8 landlords.

Welcome to BiggerPockets Erica and best of luck investing!

Quote from @Allison Cutlip: My boyfriend and I are closing on our first property soon which is a duplex where we will be living in one side and renting out the other. 

If you are heavy on stocks and want to balance sure, go ahead.

It has a text capability.With that said, I'm spending a lot of time in Twilio right now as I see huge upside coming in that platform.You could be up and running with Podio & Globiflow for text within a very short time.

Go to AirBNB app and research which areas have the most listings, that usually means that its a HOT area and if you run it right you can succeed.  

Use Real Estate By the Numbers as your guide, make sure it tracks the loan pay down and depreciation and have all of those numbers pour into a Schedule E.
