Closing a deal can be a real rollercoaster ride!

Lending attorneys are not the same as real estate attorneys.

The ones still open to adding new policies will only insure buildings built after 2000, or 1980 (depending on the insurer), and you have to be claim free in the last 5 years.Unfortunately, $9k for a 10u does not surprise me. 

This all depends on 1) your input costs versus 2) your projected revenue for the 6 months.

There are at least 3 or 4 people who have courses on it so it is a real thing.It is closer to STR that LTR because they are always furnished and can easily be converted to STR if you have a gap in bookings.

If they use it as a comp will depend on what work you did.   

I love it for the guaranteed rent, tenant stability, additional accountability with the housing authority and large demand for Section 8 housing without enough supply.With strong screening, I'm able to find great tenants and Im not owed any rent.Cons you will often hear is that the tenants are harder on your properties (doesnt have to be the case in my experience if you screen really well), the Housing Authority is a pain to deal with (this depends on a couple things - how well run your local PHA is and how good you are at handling process & details) and the extra inspections/red tape make the niche unprofitable (see what I said above about Housing Authorities).Done right, I believe Section 8 is one of the most stable & profitable. 

Lesson learned Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Again, a little more than linoleum, but last a lot longer, and depending on color choice, most scratches are hidden.But back to my original point, your tenants will be the primary driver of your success in real estate.  

Hi everyone,I’m hoping to get some advice from those of you with real estate experience.
