It is a fast way to figure out at a high level if a property is work pursuing. 

I have been investing in NYC, Brooklyn, specifically, for 21 years.If I had EXACTLY that same thought, about selling my property and moving to a lower cost of living place, I doubt I would have achieved the same level of wealth that I have now.As an example, in the year 2000, I bought a 2 Family home for $140k with $21k down, $7k closing costs.

@Mike LeeTrue, the only people I would ask though, are like only 2 years into investing so aren’t at the level of knowledge I would like.

In fact, the purpose of the Section 8 program is to provide renters a level playing field on which to qualify on an income basis for housing.
