I understand some of the downsides to section 8 - but if you get good tenants in your units (you do get to pick them - a common argument for investing here )I see it  most hopefully being a relaivelycomfortable cash flow opportunity.  

I am planning to convert the living room in the property to bedrooms and want to use the garage as common space (have a pool table or a Foosball table, a couch etc).

We do have a long term strategy, we are ready for the uphill fight for common sense and justice. 

It is common for most OOS investors to invest in the midwest.

Another common challenge is the tenant quality.

@Mark CruseWell, most of what you is somewhat common sense.

No way, unless you're talking about a multi-family common area.

Hi Kwok,From my experience, it's really common to have to expand your search for comps, either by looking for more than 6 months back or by going more than a mile out.
