And you need to weigh those pros and cons to make sure Section 8 investing is the right decision for you personally.I'm currently starting an eviction on one of my S8 tenants because she's trashing the place.

My best one has been in more rural areas, though, and using local banks.

Primary reason is that it's not economical to building in today's market compared to a larger industrial building with only 1-2 tenants to manage instead of 30 smaller ones.

Some counties in Virginia loves them because they have little employment so no big population increase = more burden on schools and the tax basis is very high because of the personal property inside of them so they pay a lot in taxesAs you mention need to be near a power source and I spent 5 years trying to get one approved in 30 acre parcel that the county wanted the site for something else - so they can be challengingTo get zoning approved

It is one of the best ways to get started with low money down.
