Section 8 housing is usually a negative.

The negative is that when you have a payment issue, or your are trying to move someone in and you need to talk to customer support you usually will get a call back in 24 hours.  

For a few years now, statistics have shown an unsustainable rise in housing prices as a multiple of family income (over 7 times in Toronto and as high as 11 times in parts of Vancouver) and a widening divergence in the rise in property prices to increase in rents.A correction of prices north of the 48th is not a question of "if", but "when" as the status quo is not sustainable.

For example, investors can check the Bureau of Labor Statistics website to see whether the local unemployment rate is decreasing, which could suggest a smaller chance of renters falling behind on their payments.In addition, the National Association of Realtors' website provides quarterly updates on median home-sale prices in many metro areas.

There is so much discussion lately regarding what markets buyers can look at for cash flow, how competitive the housing market is in general, whether housing is at a peak, super-low inventory everywhere, people unable to find deals, folks wondering why others are buying (apparently) cash flow negative investments, and so on.I'm wondering if anyone is actually selling into this low inventory market? 

For a move in ready house in this market, there is really no way to positively cashflow more than 100$ and a lot of properties I have assessed would have negative or break-even cashflows.

You probably have to generate your own distressed lead sources to get better deals...or invest in the future....in my experience rents in DFW have come up...so maybe your first year is a bit negative, year 2 you get another $50/rent....and as long as you keep up the property and do upgrades on vacancies, and don't just never put money in it and drive it into the ground, value should go up. 

So, you have to manage them yourself for your Stop Out when things go negative.

(Unless you had say an interest only negative amortization loan...dont get one of those lol)

If so you could have a negative review, so compare that to how many positive reviews you've had and see if it's worth $860 to have a bad review.
