Yes, it's great when you can find habitable tax sale houses.

Those that can last until the country opens up again are not going to go on a hiring spree when the pandemic is over because their consumers won't be back to their normal spending habits right away. 

There are bad lawyers with bad habits, who have been repeating those habits for 30 years.  

What you definitely do NOT want to do is get into the habit of only keeping people around on your team that will always tell you only what you want to hear ... that is a sure fire road to financial ruin IMO.

Having a good broker apart of your A-team that understands the investing process is vital to your success as an investor.

You need to spend a lot of money to get your property in compliance with what the program deems as safe and habitable conditions (which is beyond what any normal investor would think is reasonable).

The reality is you cannot force people to live how you want them to live but you shouldn't make a habit of tolerating the behavior when its a violation of the lease.

Most of these folks will have a poor credit score, and the prospect needs to be looked at in a more non-traditional way.I just feel that a decision based only on looks and the cleanliness of a car might not be the best business habits to forge.

Doubt it...at least not anytime soon...You are a property owner so I am sure you pay tons of $ every year on property taxes, income taxes etc. so in a sense you are funding the wasteful section 8 system...One thing that could possibly trigger the government into making a change to this program would be posts in which an investor touts that he is making twice the market rate of rent and referring to the program as a "gravy train" (just giving you a hard time)...I think what you meant to say was that it is a vital government program that helps the community and that you could charge more rent but you don't because you only want to make a modest income...

You probably don't want to make a habit of backing out of deals, as this will kill your reputation.4.
