What considerations would be required to address before making a “Yay or Nay” decision to move on an out of state multifamily property.Toughts anyone? 

If for some reason I need to return security deposit at a different time I'll either take the 3mo interest from their security deposit, or I'll do a trade from my reserves. 

At my point in life everything I own is both a cash flow superstar and appreciating nicely, because I'm invested in growing, popular areas.If I was just starting off now, I'd probably be aiming for value-add in good areas where I could either live there while improving the unit(s) - ie a duplex, triplex - or where I could trade sweat equity for profit, or both.

@John Kim @Travis Biziorek is 100% correct.S8 really isn't difficult, but it's not the answer to everything that the self-proclaimed "gurus" make it out to be.With S8 tenants, you're just trading one set of challenges versus direct paying tenants.When we advertise a rental, we take the best tenant we can find, immaterial of their source of rental funds.You want to be careful investing in the City of Detroit because there are a lot of "crooks" trying to sell you Class D properties dressed up to look like Class C or B.Connect with us or Travis for more info!

In our trade, I would not expect any owner or GC to get this correct since our industry is extremely specialized.

Your best bet is to get on the phone, get multiple opinions, multiple quotes, and make decisions on the type of build before pulling the trigger.

The problem is that they are not knowledgable enough to understand that the analysis is inaccurate, but start making investment decisions based on the analysis anyway.That is one of the main problems I wanted to solve with DealCheck by providing a tool that takes most of the guess work out of running analysis calculations and evaluating rentals/flips/wholesale deals that will satisfy 80%+ of investors out there.But going further, I think that tools like DealCheck are perfectly viable even for more experienced investors.
