The program was created to give low-income tenants an alternative to living in federal project housing.S8 sets their rental rates to the LOW-END of market averages, if not slightly below.

The average price I look for is typically in the $150-180k range but that’s just my personal preference.

We've averaged around 7% for mortgage rates for the past two years now…I think if we can see a settling somewhere in the 6% range, if not sub 6%, we will see nice consumer confidence not only for home values, but rent values as well.

Examples:44109 (median home price went from roughly 50k to 125k in 8 years)https://www.zillow.com/home-values/77009/cleveland-oh-44109/ 44102 (median home price went from roughly 30k to 120k in 8 years)https://www.zillow.com/home-values/77002/cleveland-oh-44102/ 44106 (median home price went from roughly 100k to 200k in 8 years)https://www.zillow.com/home-values/77006/cleveland-oh-44106/ It has the highest rents on average in all of Ohio for major cities and the median income is not even in the top 3.

I’ve noticed that most of the listings on that site in SF have average at best pics which i was shocked by (I’m sure this is not your wife).

They recommend certain other products to help you but nothing is shoved down your throat. 

Even if you rent at a break even or slight loss, if you could have 3 years of rental income offsetting your mortgage while realizing 3-6% appreciation, could be worth it, especially if you think appreciating for this area will exceed national averages.

the key will be breaking the Broker code its one thing for Brian to get a look at good deals its another for the average investors 

The average Section 8 rent for a 3BR house in Jax is around $2,000.

If the AI/software could break down the offer in laymen's terms for the seller, much like a listing agent does, then the product could potentially be very beneficial.
