Having the tenant be responsible for something like the first $1000 of each maintenance issue, or $500 can be a big help.

@Nathan Gesner It's no use helping here.

Quote from @Andy Wang: Hi bigger pocket,Hope someone can help with insights on the situation.

As an investor, comps tend to harm you more than help.

What they will offer you is an appliance package, or closing cost help, or a low fixed rate loan. 

As you can guess, I’ve been in this space for a long time, coaching and investing, and I would be happy to help if there’s anything I can do to support you, just let me know!

We've rented out some of our best investment properties (New Construction/Turnkey) to Sec 8 residents, and the rent guarantee always helps in achieving consistent cash flow each month.

Thanks for any help you can provide! 

Whether it's for a new home purchase, refinancing, or any other financial needs, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance for your help!

Networking with local investors through BiggerPockets, Facebook, and meetups can help you navigate the market, while avoiding common mistakes like underestimating expenses, poor tenant screening, and hiring the wrong property manager.Good luck!
