I wasn't hoping for my responses to be read as an indicator of making a decision to invest section 8 or not, or stating that I have a more thorough DD process than someone with more experience.  

Let's compare this to a deal we did last week: Seller had purchased in 2022 and listed the property for around 5% more than they had paid in 2022 (there are a lot of highly unrealistic/hopeful sellers like this currently who overpaid in 2022 and need to sell).

Is this 1 flip where you're going to lose $20,000 and never touch real estate again? 

I'm researching more because we had hoped to eventually purchase the space. 

You can hear real-world examples of how others have built their investment portfolio and (hopefully) learn to avoid their mistakes.4.

The money you invest needs to be money that you don't need back for at least five years, and to put it bluntly, you can afford to lose it all in the (hopefully unlikely) event that the investment fails. 

Hopefully it’s not combined with the landlord hatred.)It sounds more like an attempt to either admit they made a mistake or have to do any work to fix their problem.  

If they don't, then you file a claim and hope the insurance company squeezes the money from the tenant.Get rid of this tenant.

Hopefully the rates are better.

I'm currently leaning towards a 2-4 unit property and hope to buy this year - aiming for the next 90-120 days, if possible.
