.- In our experience, many S8 tenants cannot come up with a security deposit (SD) of a full month of rent:( So, this may be their adaption to the market.

Did you end up pursuing this opportunity? 

The delivery guys say they have never had to pick one up for repairs.  

That's another reason I'm looking to use seller financing as I may be able to have a much lower down payment or even none at all. 

Lets discuss some bridge, fix and flip, ground up construction and DSCR loan scenarios for both purchase and refinance options .

As long as the tenant receives it and signs a copy, you should be good.Certified Mail works because the Courts accept this as delivered even if the tenant never picks it up.

Considering that I have work in the property management field for the last few years, I am very familiar with what it takes to keep a multi-family property up and running. 

Of course, for 3, you want to have your financing lined up, but you don't complete the contingency until you are under contract and headed toward closing. 1, 2, and 4 all happen after you lock the property up.6 is the one you should focus on beforehand, especially if from out-of-state.

The property is in a prime location, close to Old Town Clovis, Fresno State, and outdoor activities.My debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is currently at 50%, but will drop to around 38% in April when my average income increases to $144k (its already there but for loan reasons it needs 2 years of tax returns)..

We’d have a subsidized tenant, so at least collecting a majority of the rent, and I understand that these tenants usually stay longer.I know there is bureaucracy with Section 8 but can out up with that.
