And you need to weigh those pros and cons to make sure Section 8 investing is the right decision for you personally.I'm currently starting an eviction on one of my S8 tenants because she's trashing the place.

I've tried reporting these with the current way and it's not having any impact.

- Current income- Hope of price appreciation- Vacation home to go to- Future retirement home- Store of value/hedge against inflation- Generational gift to the family- Alternative to traditional retirement investmentsI'll go first. 

Current interest rate on the property is 3.375%.

@Jamie Brayton Looking to invest in the catskill NY area, currently in Brooklyn.

.- 10% Pop Growth over the past 10 Years- 10% Job Growth over the past 10 Years- Low Crime- High Appreciation- Manageable Entry Prices- At least 30% Renter PopulationHere's an example of all those rules of thumb with a crime map of Austin, TX.

The rate on my mortgage is amazing (low 3'%) and have no plans to lose that.

Unless you are building Rental units, the SF Retail market construction market is not doing well, hopefully your builder is borrowing money at sub 10% interest rates.  4 years ago, a lot of builders were only factoring in 3% for total loan costs, I would think that the carry costs would be 10% or more currently.  3.

Currently, I'm looking into the company REI Nation.

I've heard it recommended to tell tenants that you are the property manager rather than the owner because it can improve your relationship and they are less likely to come after you (Note: we currently don't have any issues and don't plan to, just being cautious).
