This allows you to pivot when you can get a more favorable situation.Renting:Pros: Flexibility, less upfront cost, maintenance covered by landlord.Cons: Limited equity building, rising rents can strain affordability.Buying:Pros: Potential for long-term wealth building through equity and appreciation.

If you don't want the headache of management that is fine but will limit your options. 

I need help finding statistics of appreciation, population growth, job growth.California of course has great appreciation and limited competition growth with high house prices making renting almost a necessity but I worry with more people leaving California then coming in this year that Phoenix might be a better investment in terms of long term growth.

Well I am a limited partner and retired on caah flow.

Hi, We have five garnishments on evicted tenants in KCMO that our Lawyer is chasing, with very limited success.

Cruz seems to focus more on seller financing which seems to be limited as a lot of sellers don’t offer this.  90 day rental road map focuses on private funding with exclusive lenders for their students that will fund 100 percent of the deals.  

The system is what's really broken:1) S8 should have a time limit - get free housing to get your life in order and move on.2) S8 should have strong requirements for taking care of the home taxpayers are paying the rent for. --- We haven't seen a S8 inspection report in over a decade that required a tenant to fix damages they obviously caused.

Some investors like having each property in its own LLC to limit risk, like if something happens with one property, it doesn’t affect the others.That said, managing multiple LLCs can be a hassle and add costs, especially with only a few doors.

This experience has been a tough reminder of why those measures are non-negotiable. 

You might want to limit your visits though to avoid escalation.Short term if the smart lock is on his personal door just change it to a key if it's isn't working for him, you can always switch back later.
