I also have multiple tenants in the Ohio market that are part of the voucher program (CMHA & Eden).

We accept all applications and in the case of section 8 the only real time we don’t is if the numbers don’t make sense with market rent vs HUD standard.  

The Latest OTM episode calls out some markets that I've been hearing about for a while, ie Dallas, but one specifically that caught my ear....

Firstly I apologize that I do not have any market insights data specifically, but Houston has been a rough market as valuations have pulled back.

Low or no down, seller financing and low or no interest with a balloon payment later is the holy grail (location, building condition, market also matter but it sounds like you have all that).

Which market do you have experience in and how is your experience working remotely with your real estate team in the area?  

If you're going to start in a market you're eventually going to live in, I think that's a stronger case for that market."

Markets like Texas (San Antonio or Dallas) or North Carolina (Charlotte) could offer better cash flow with lower costs.

I have a STR in Truckee that has done very well and I am looking for another STR, was thinking of the Sacramento market but I hear conflicting info on the permit process and the ability to rent it out for more than 90 days a year as a STR.
