@Stepan Fedetskiy section 8 can be good option if you have a good PM who maintains the property in good shape all the time as per the needed standards. best part is govt pays a portion of the rents so you dont have to chase tenants, downside the upkeep of the unit will eat up appx 20%. so its little tricky..sounds good on paper but when you go through one you will get an idea. i had 4-5 section 8's , 3 of them had no issues, but 1 of them had lot of issues and ate up all the profits.  

Section 8 can be a very smart play, but it's not great for first-time investors who are not planning (and have the resources) to continue the play to understand and perfect the obligations and to ensure the best renters.

From years of borrowing I can also say these are the lenders who will take the time to understand obstacles that may arise on any given project and formulate solutions that keep your projects moving.

This interested me because of my lack of investing experience at the time as well as low on cash at the time to buy much.

Yes, this can be done and people do it all the time, especially now.

There were 3 rate cuts of 0.25% and mortgage rates actually moved HIGHER during that time.

A fun fact about myself is that I do comedy improv in my free time!

Deposites are legally REFUNDABLE.What happens if your tenant changes their mind the day before MoveIn and leaves you with no time to find a new one?
