Wherever you invest, I recommend hiring a property manager who is highly knowledgeable about Section 8 and its frequently changing guidelines.Putting down at least 20% ensures the best rates and avoids any PMI payments.Good luck!

Your lease should be very specific about which utilities are included with rent and which ones the tenant pays for.

Only attorneys are allowed to represent corporations and LLCs  in Florida.Going to be very interesting to watch these cases move forward. 

On average the best efficiency one could realistically strive for is 200 doors per PM, so we are talking a couple dozen or so PM's on staff.

Your situation is very familiar with situations I've come across in our Investments business.

The only reason they shed tears and beg to stay is because you are probably renting to them well below market and it is in their best interest to stay put as long as they can.Did you sign a lease?

So that could very well go towards an investment property.

I'm trying by BEST to help my mom.

Any lower than that and the costs of the mortgage are typically a very high percentage of the loan amount.
