I’m fairly new to the self-managing/property management business and certainly new to dealing with section 8 tenants.I have a potential section 8 tenant who has inquired about one of my properties and they are in their opinion “disgusted” with the way the carpet looks however up until this point in my efforts of marketing the property I have not had one complaint concerning the carpet.That being said she has requested to rip out the carpet, in turn to replace the carpet with hardwood floors. 

Are you better off paying rent or buing a triplex and renting out two units. 

In general medical professionals are looking for smaller units (studio/1 bedrooms) not 2+ bedrooms- In order to understand corporate demand you should research the types of corporations in the market and figure out if they bring traveling / temporary workers to the area because not all corporations do- You didn't mention colleges but if there's higher education nearby this can also be a driver of MTR demand.

But, it get's lost all the time, in all the Guru-messaging pressing people to go ballz-out.

I want to improve them a bit and rent them out as much as possible.

We fix and flip and now looking to do a cash out refi on a rental we have.

After 30 or 40 years they still haven’t figured out the technology?

The investor piece is a bit of chicken and the egg: you need to have an idea of what types of structures are out there (Kim and team, as well as other syndicators can give you some ideas).  

@Martin D.Good for you for selling out of Tulum on time.

He did not leave a will or living trust so  I’m of course trying to figure out who may have the rights to the home.
