As a section 8 tenant what are their responsibilities to report issues? 

My response to a few:@Kevin S.The rate of appreciation varies by location, price range, property type, property age, and other factors.

Thank you for the response and for the warm welcome to the BP community!

On the flip side, I would encourage investors to invest because it makes sense as a solid investment and NOT for any proposed tax benefits.

If that is not right-on then these other questions don't matter.. good. response..yes, you should comp out your daily rate (I do this for each season) and then comp out your occupancy rate.

. $500 a month cashflow from a single family home is really solid but it isn't going to drastically change your life. 

Thank you for your very detailed response!

Landfills make me think: odor, smoke, noise, bugs, and water supply contamination.Construction on top of landfill: additional costs, abnormal settling, off gassing, heavy metals, and surface leaching if a capping fails.

I would not recommend it.But if you can work with a team that already understands the market, has connections, and can help with the heavy lifting... yes, that can work well.They key is vetting that team.

You give up some of the boom (and bust) that you get in some of the other areas, but there's a solid economy and a strong healthcare system.
