It was difficult to find reliable cleaners and handymen at first but I have been operating for 2 years now and have found people I like.

I would love to discuss real estate with like minded people over coffee, dinner or virtually 

Be prudent and cautious, but take calculated risks.REI meetups are a great place to meet like minded people and connect.

I am very cautious about stuff like this but if i find anything interesting or worthwhile considering I can let people know.

People don't really move around the holidays.

I'm looking to connect with people who are like minded in the Oneonta area.

Some general pros v cons - I'm sure other people will provide other insights as wellPros: -Above market rents- Monthly rent payment on time that you don't have to worry about or chase anyone down for (if full pay)- No shortage of tenants depending on your standards - Tenants are incentivized to not trash/destroy the unit, otherwise they'll lose their voucher (Yearly inspections made by local S8 inspectors to keep everyone honest- Rental payouts are normally adjusted 1-2 times a year to keep up with market rentsCons:- May take a little while to get onboarded - dealing with local govt can always take longer than expected   - Generally won't have a super high credit score (to be expected given it's the govt paying for rent)- Each unit will need to be inspected and meet a certain living standard in order to be approved for fundingYou'll want to make sure you work with a property manager who has extensive experience in working with S8.
