We want to downside the house to smaller home 3/2 instead of 6/4 right now.

The best tip I can give you ask a flipper or a new construction home builder if you can shadow an entire project, maybe run errands for them and deliver supplies to the job.Get on the job every day, best way to learn the process, every municipality is a little different, my experince is from Milwaukee, I would have to learn a lot, even if it were close by like Chicago.

My experience (pre-Covid) with section 8 was there were A LOT of people searching for homes with their vouchers but a shortage of landlords either qualified or willing to accept Section 8 tenants.

Anyone out there have success getting a 3rd or know anyone who might do one?Thanks.

Regarding nonrefundable deposit on lease option to purchase for a home selling for $375K.What does the nonrefundable deposit entail?

In any case, "rental arbitrage" is almost 100% done because the lessee is broke as a joke and couldn't muster up bus fare home, so they use someone else's asset in order to cover for their lack of resources.

You have very strong equity in your current home, but you don't want to burn it all and make your house worth less with more leverage.

I think the larger your portfolio gets, the smoother things get.There's probably a better word for it though than 'unpredictable.' 

The house is small, like 550 sq ft, but all of the homes in this neighborhood are this small.

@Mary Ainsworth Learning the market when it comes to mobile homes is similar to single-family homes.
