We'd prefer not to have anyone else on the loan - just my son. 

I am not sure where exactly this property is, but this is an example of why I prefer B class neighborhoods or better when looking for rental properties. 

After assembling a lot of bed frames, I prefer the Zinus brand, and I would recommend contract grade furniture.Don't forget to sign up for pest control and both a renter's and landlord policy on your insurance.Hi Miguel - I’m also looking at the midtown  Sacramento area for multifamily…what is “contract grade” furniture please ?

Since I am having my prospective tenants cover the cost I would prefer to have the lowest cost option that gives you the most bang for your buck, but at the same time I want to be sure that what I am paying for is reliable.

Buyers don't always like it but now that it's a hard requirement for everyone, they have no choice. 

You can also do this on a refinance.Else, you can find private money, take out a HELOC if you have a lot of equity, go hard money and then refinance after, or see if your preferred builder offers financing.

@Michael Benanti I have it and have used it for analysis but I prefer the BP calculators.

To invest in Section 8 housing, look at areas such as Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton, choose safe neighborhoods, study Section 8 standards, analyze property types, and explore financing choices.

I do prefer having them take it to the bank tho.

Typically, we steer away from pet deposits in preference of pet rent / fee.
