I've had some investments perform better than others but section 8 rentals were the one that were most challenging to sustainably operate and my worst performers over an extended period of time.

Challenges?

The challenge with S8 in this scenario is you always have a piano over your head and all a tenant has to do is call the code office to create an issue for you. 

Holding is currently challenging. 

You can find decent SFHs in the $150k-$180k range that can cash flow if you buy right.The challenges?

Those were challenging times, but they also presented unique opportunities for investors who could navigate the market conditions.

However I did note that houses are mostly really old, e.g. 100 years or older... any idea if this poses challenges in things like lead paint presence, outdated wiring, rusty plumbing, etc., or have many of the homes already been updated?   

Today we have 540 units in a few states and things are not without challenges. 

Challenges?

It’s always fun to hear what challenges new investors tackle.
