Part of it is luck part of it is screening the heck out of them.

It's been a hard slog renovating.I bought most of the materials off craigslist and offerup or materials on clearance sale at the big name stores.Brand new bathtubs- freeFound them in another building I ownBrand new modern vanities- $65Marked down from $400 at Home DepotKitchens with granite bench tops- $1000 eachPurchased from CraigslistShower screens, toilets, faucets, front doors, new windows and various other bits and pieces were bought for $20-$40 on Craigslist and offerup.The total rehab cost for installing central AC, 2 new bathrooms and 2 new kitchens, washer and dryer and updating plumbing and electrical is around 18K for materials and labor.Each side is rented for $1400 per month, total $2800.

Hello, I think you get to chose your section 8 tenant so if you're worried about having a problem tenant you can mitigate that risk when you are first screening tenants.

The relative quickness to rent a property really depends on how much you're trying to get in rent and the quality of tenant you are screening for.  

Do some screen interview and background check if he/she is truly qualified for the job.

@Kelly Byrd I don't know if I'm unique but I've never had issues when I've just screen-captured an image of my bank account.  

A good, experienced local property manager can have these tenants waiting (pre-screened and all) before the 30-45 days of rehab are over.c) Take out a non-recourse loan (takes approx. 2 weeks to 2 months), get 40 to 50% of your original seed money out.d) Reinvest it (like above) via your Roth IRA into the next project (alone or with partner).

They have research tools to help you screen stocks and funds.

Some of the hosts even socialize with the renters and offer breakfast.Long-term, I think the time you spend screening, cleaning, accepting requests, have vacant days, meeting tenants for keys, etc. might not be worth it.

@ Manuel Luz i am sorry to hear about that i cant understand some peoples moral compass. when you were going thru the rental process with this tenant what type of screening did you do ?
