C class and lower areas is only where S8 beneficial and that tenant base can be a headache.

you may find it beneficial to avoid paying lender fees over and over again, on 3 properties though if you go with a lender that doesn't charge a ton of junk fees then you'd save doing it separately. 

I was advised it would be beneficial to have a reason for non-renewal in New Hampshire in the event that the tenant fights it.

To answer your question yes its enough but in many cases it might be risky.2. location, room to raise rents, occupancy of property, local laws, type of investment are just a few topics that play a huge part. 

If you don't want the property any more a 1031 is probably your best bet, unless it's got a huge capital gains capture in which case you could just take your tax lumps and collect your funds. 

Oil prices remain a huge X factor, and housing prices (at least with respect to rents) are being held back by the most supply EVER being built and coming online here in 2024.

a lot of new investors pick the cheapest markets in the country regardless of how far away they are, and how much knowledge they have of them, and I think that's a huge mistake. 

I completely agree with your implied notion that if I were going to do this, it would absolutely be more beneficial to do it myself especially with an insignificant down payment like 3.5%.

Otherwise, if something horrible does happen, you just opened up a huge lawsuit that could destroy your life!

Have a huge cushion and don't get too excited as not everything is what it seems.
