I also had good experiences with Section 8......Yes I know many people don't like the program.....but from my experience it can work out great.....there are far more vouchers out there then landlords willing to take them and it allowed me to cherry pick the best applicants and have a lot of stability and low turnover rates as a result of that.Don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to go into a deeper conversation.

I’m with EXP, they are very good with new agents and offer mentor programs which are great.

Was not aware that the annual membership cost was almost as much as my MLS dues!

I also leave myself about $1000 per month to account for varying expenses such as groceries, gas, gym memberships, doctors appointments, and of course other varying costs that come along with being a single dad!

She has not paid her rent since February 2021 but has been able to secure rental assistance through the program that the NJDCA offers.

I’m not familiar with any programs using section 8 for hotel rooms but my guess would be that unless the rooms have kitchens it could be a tough sell.

Does anyone here know anything about any government programs that would pay for hotel rooms.

With your wife's salary, you would qualify for some pretty great down payment assistance programs and subsidized interest rates on your primary residence.

You can use a program to track the income/expenses and run reports.

Just like that millionaire can't take out a $2m mortgage on a $300k home, the person killing it with a STR can't finance more than the LTV restriction would allow for the loan program in question, and it's not 2007 any more so no one is doing 100% or 120% LTV cash out refis (yup, >100% LTV cash out refis was a thing towards the end of the 2004 to 2008 era, and we saw what that did to the global economy...).
